title: [On validity of intralacunar exposure to surgical laser beam in chronic tonsillitis (experimental study)].
abstract: An experimental study was made on the removed tonsil to validate clinical efficiency of intralacunar impact of surgical laser beam. The experiment was based on computed tomography of the removed tonsil with intralacunar introduction of the contrast medium before and after intralacunar impact of surgical laser beam. The study demonstrates changes in the lacunar apparatus of the palatine tonsils in response to laser beam radiation. Dilation of the lacunae, disappearance of lacunar narrowings and branches promoted improvement of the drainage function of the lacunar complex of the palatine tonsils.
