title: [Use of laser therapy in inflammatory diseases of the paranasal sinuses].
abstract: 105 patients with acute and chronic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses were exposed to the radiation of the semiconductor laser Uzor using gallium arsenide. The treatment combined antiinflammatory drugs with vasoconstrictive nasal drops, maxillary puncture and laser radiation. Intolerance to laser effects was registered in 3 patients. The course of treatment included 5-6 sessions in acute sinusitis and 10 sessions in chronic sinusitis. Laser therapy was found effective as it reduced the time of treatment by 1-2 days.
