CO2 laser surgery has been employed successfully in the larynx for the past ten years. Because of the nature of the CO2 beam, it is necessary to mount the laser itself onto the operating microscope, thereby making it difficult to adapt to otologic microsurgery. The ability of the argon laser to be transferred through a fiber optic bundle has made it possible to introduce a whole new concept to microsurgery of the ear and adjacent structures. The argon laser has been used by the authors, on a routine basis, in all acoustic neuroma surgery for the past ten months (30 cases). The purpose of this paper is to present their preliminary experience. Surgical technique is covered in detail describing the many advantages the laser has provided in the management of these difficult lesions.
在过去十年中，二氧化碳激光手术已成功应用于喉部。由于二氧化碳光束的特性，有必要将激光本身安装在手术显微镜上，从而使其难以适应耳科显微手术。氩激光能够通过光纤束传输，这使得在耳科及相邻结构的显微手术中引入全新概念成为可能。在过去十个月里（30例），作者常规地在所有听神经瘤手术中使用了氩激光。本文旨在介绍他们的初步经验。文中详细阐述了手术技术，描述了激光在处理这些疑难病变时所带来的诸多优势。
