Abstract
|
|
|
|
Laser laryngeal microsurgery is currently the primary method of treatment of various laryngeal diseases. The development of laryngeal microsurgery came from the introduction of a small spot CO2 laser micromanipulator and more precise microlaryngeal instruments. CO2 laser laryngeal microsurgery has enabled very precise surgery because it has small focus size and hemostatic effect. There are some limitations to the use of the CO2 Laser such as adjacent tissue damage and vocal fold scarring. These problems can be minimized through understanding the mechanisms by which lasers function and correctly manipulating the parameters under a surgeon’s control. We should also recognize the safety of CO2 laser for the surgeon to precisely perform the procedure.
