Laser-Assisted Microphonosurgery

  • First Online:
Surgery of Larynx and Trachea

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser should be regarded as complementing the existing instrumentation. It is not meant to replace well-established microlaryngoscopic techniques. Newcomers to laser technology must first be competent in the microlaryngoscopic technique. Then they can learn the lasers and their tissue effects as continuing professional development. Thanks to the development of the high-powered pulsed waves, the micromanipulator Acuspot, and the scanning device, laser-assisted surgery can be approached in a safe way provided that the parameters are strictly respected.
