He helped pioneer the use of angiolytic lasers for the treatment of leukoplakia and papillomatosis, ALA photodynamic therapy for recurrent leukoplakia, photochemical tissue bonding to approximate tissue without sutures and created the SILSI technique that shifted the treatment paradigm away from surgery to allow outpatient treatment of airway stenosis with steroid injections.
