Lasers have been used in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery since the early 1970s, mainly for endoscopic applications. In particular, the author discusses the use of the Nd:YAG contact laser surgery. The techniques and training required in the use of these newer laser applications, including the flexible fiber system for use in the tracheobronchial tree, are reviewed.
