title: [Laser surgery of cicatricial laryngeal stenosis].
abstract: The authors consider possibility of using surgical lasers for treatment of cicatricial laryngostenosis (CL); present classification of stenoses depending on the causes and location; emphasize advantages of high-energy laser vs conventional methods (reduced blood loss, no need in previous tracheotomy or laryngofissure, minimal reactive changes, rapid epithelization); describe the procedure of laser radiation and its variants depending on tumor location in the larynx.
