The use of the CO2 laser in otolaryngology: ten years of experience.
Accessory instruments have been developed consisting of retractors, the axial adapter, the slip-on adapter for the laryngoscope and the lynch suspension apparatus, the upper-hand abdominal retractor modified, and chain for neurological sponges, and mirrors. The initial bronchoscopic coupler was used until a manufactured one was obtained from Cavitron. In addition to the cases shown in the table, the laser has been used in conjunction with the Department of Ophthalmology, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, and the Department of Gynecology. The advantages to laser surgery are stated.
