With the advancement of sinus endoscope and coronal computerized tomography, the ability to diagnose and relate paranasal sinus pathology to abnormal anatomy and function has increased rapidly. The continued development of surgical lasers and research into a better understanding of their advantages, limitations, and possible applications has paralleled this expansion in the diagnosis of paranasal sinuses. The result has been multiple studies now looking at laser use in the paranasal sinuses. These studies are reviewed and the utility of lasers in the sinuses is discussed.
随着鼻窦内窥镜和冠状计算机断层扫描技术的进步，诊断鼻旁窦病变并将其与异常解剖结构和功能相关联的能力迅速提高。外科激光的持续发展以及对更好地理解其优势、局限性和可能应用的研究，与鼻旁窦诊断方面的这种扩展同步进行。结果是现在有多项研究关注激光在鼻旁窦的应用。本文对这些研究进行了综述，并讨论了激光在鼻窦中的效用。
