Abstract The carbon dioxide laser has been used clinically in both otorhinolaryngology and neurological surgery for approximately 10 years. Only recently, however, have technical modifications allowed its use with the operating microscope, providing the increased precision and control necessary for intracranial surgery. This paper reports the authors' experience with the carbon dioxide laser in the removal of acoustic tumors, details the surgical technique involved, and describes the advantages that may accompany the use of the laser in the removal of these difficult lesions.

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.
