Role of CO laser and Diode laser in ENT diseases
Journal Title: GCSMC Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Laser is known as light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. ENT surgeons use laser to improve care of patient in many ways. Due to evolution of laser surgical approach has been revolutionized by the ability to perform minimally invasive, highly precise surgery, suitable for a wide range of treatment for ENT diseases. Total 83 patients of various age groups were included in our study for treating various ENT diseases using CO and diode laser. CO laser is most commonly used laser due to its precision, minimal charing, less bleeding where as diode laser is used in “contact” mode for deeper tissue planes(intranasal, oral and micro-laryngeal) due to its special wavelength. Diode laser offer delicacy in contact mode or good coagulation in non-contact mode. Laser have ability to stop bleeding simultaneously with cutting action, allowing rapid bloodless surgery, reducing anaesthetic time, quick recovery and little pain in postoperative period. This study was undertaken to determine usefulness and effectiveness of lasers.
