[Endonasal surgical technic with the argon laser].
A unit consisting of an argon-ion-laser, a flexible beam guide system and a probe for endonasal lasersurgical applications is described. The instrument has been used successfully for several years. Endonasal lasersurgical techniques are described. Pathological tissue can be coagulated or carbonised in the form of a point or a line. In particular, lasersurgical techniques are described for surgery of the lower turbinates, for coagulation of Little's area in case of chronical nose bleeding, for coagulation or carbonisation of teleangiectasia in case of Morbus Rendu-Weber-Osler, for production of a nasoantral window, and for other applications.
