title: [Treatment of intraoral hemangiomas with the CO2 laser].
abstract: Intra-oral haemangiomas can lead to intra-operative bleeding while being excised conventionally with a scalpel. Therefore excision with CO2-Laser using coagulating effects and vaporisation of soft-tissues has been introduced. 52 intra-oral haemangiomas were excised minimal invasively and without relapse. With CO2-Laser no complications were seen postoperatively but the healing period was prolonged.
