title: [Complications of CO2 laser surgery in the head and neck].
abstract: The authors analyzed data in the literature on complications of laser surgery in otolaryngology. Subsequently they analyse and describe in detail the complications they observed and which they encountered after 611 laser operations. None of the described complications caused permanent damage of the patient or the attending staff. When the recommended safety provisions are respected, the authors consider laser surgery a safe surgical method.
