Laser polypectomy.
The contact Nd:YAG laser technique in endonasal surgery is presented as a new therapeutic tool. The clinical experience in cases with recurrent polyposis is presented. The therapeutic results are evaluated. Although patients with nasal polyposis remain to be treated on an individual basis, due to the multifactorial etiopathogenesis of this disorder, the initial results with this new surgical procedure are promising.
