The argon laser has been described as an instrument capable of performing stapedotomy for otosclerosis. Because of the possibility of cost ineffectiveness and damage to the saccule using the argon laser, this study was undertaken to ascertain the possibility of using the CO2 laser for stapedotomy. the operation was done on seven cats, and the resulting histopathologic findings were studied. Stapedotomy was also performed with the CO2 laser on human cadaver temporal bones to measure temperature changes in the vestibule and to develop guidelines for the laser's use in humans. The authors' results indicated that the CO2 laser can be used effectively and safely in cats and should be considered for human use.
氩激光已被描述为一种能够对耳硬化症进行镫骨切除术的器械。由于使用氩激光可能存在成本效益不佳以及对内耳球囊造成损伤的可能性，因此开展了本研究以确定使用二氧化碳激光进行镫骨切除术的可能性。该手术在七只猫身上进行，并对所得的组织病理学结果进行了研究。还使用二氧化碳激光对人类尸体颞骨进行了镫骨切除术，以测量前庭的温度变化并制定该激光在人体应用的指导方针。作者的结果表明，二氧化碳激光可在猫身上有效且安全地使用，应考虑用于人类。
