*{{discussion}} I have a patient that had laser surgery on the larynx, pharynx area to remove a mass (SCC). I put in Glottis, Larynx, Related Structures (T) as "Extraction" and then I put in another one with the same anatomic location using this endoscopic option because they used an endoscope to do this procedure. I put this as therapeutic also. However when I try to check it off I get an error message that won't let me use endoscopic as a therapeutic measure. I think in this case both options are therapeutic.
