CO2 laser in laryngeal microsurgery.
The CO2 Laser is used in the treatment of several laryngeal diseases and offers considerable advantages over traditional techniques. New applications of this surgical tool are currently under study for other laryngeal and ENT pathologies. It should be pointed out that there are some limitations to the use of the CO2 Laser; an accurate examination of its indications is needed, as well as a precise knowledge of its techniques and possibilities.
