AbstractTwenty-six cases of patients presenting with benign laryngeal lesions treated by laser excision were compared with age and sex matched controls treated by conventional surgery. There was no statistically significant difference post-operatively between the groups in analgesic requirement, length of hospital stay, voice quality or laryngoscopic appearance.

Carbon Dioxide transoral laser microsurgery represents a reliable option for the treatment of early glottic carcinoma (Tis–T2), with good functional and oncological outcomes, nowadays representing one of the main options in larynx preservation protocols. The development and improvement of laser devices means surgeons are able to use more precise instruments compared with classic cold dissection in laser-assisted phonosurgery. Secondary effects on voice, swallowing, or quality of life as well as complications have been well documented. Also, with the introduction of a new proposal for staging systems following the principle of the three-dimensional map of isoprognostic zones, the use of narrow-band imaging in clinical evaluation and intraoperative, and the implementation of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance during preoperative evaluation, the development of new tools to improve surgical quality and preliminary reports regarding the use of carbon dioxide laser in transoral robotic surgery suggests an exciting future for this technique.

Upper airway obstruction due to bilateral vocal cord paralysis was successfully relieved by carbon dioxide laser posterior cordectomy. All patients achieved satisfactory airway and decannulation. Flow-volume loop spirograms obtained preoperatively and postoperatively documented improved flow rates on inspiration and expiration. Final voice quality was subjectively good in all patients. Follow-up has ranged from 1 year 10 months to 5 years 8 months, and initial improvement has been sustained in all cases. Carbon dioxide laser posterior partial cordectomy is an alternative management option for relief of upper airway obstruction due to bilateral vocal cord paralysis. The procedure can be performed without prophylactic tracheotomy. Subjectively good voice quality is preserved.

Twenty-five previously untreated patients with selected early midcordal squamous cell carcinomas have been treated by endoscopic excisional biopsy with the carbon dioxide laser and followed for a minimum of 3 years. Twenty-four of the 25 patients are alive and free of disease, and one patient died of local and regional recurrence 2 years after attempted endoscopic excision followed by partial laryngectomy. Indications, contraindications, advantages, and complications associated with this treatment option for patients with early glottic carcinoma are discussed.

While much is known regarding the effect of lasers on the retina, little study has been done on the effect of lasers on cornea, because of the limitation of the size of the material. Using a combination of electron microscope and several newly developed cytochemical methods, the effect of laser can now be studied on eye for the purpose of correlating functional and morphological damage. The present paper illustrates such study with CO2 laser on Rhesus monkey.
