Abstract

In adult microlaryngeal surgery appropriate application of the laser can result in improved therapeutic outcomes. Used injudiciously, however, the laser will impart heat energy which can irreversibly alter postoperative laryngeal vibratory characteristics. This article discusses the equipment, safety precautions, and clinical applications of lasers in adult laryngeal surgery because the laser remains a valuable tool for the treatment of specific laryngeal diseases.

摘要

在成人显微喉镜手术中，激光的适当应用可改善治疗效果。然而，如果使用不当，激光会传递热能，这可能会不可逆转地改变术后喉部的振动特性。本文讨论了激光在成人喉部手术中的设备、安全预防措施和临床应用，因为激光仍然是治疗特定喉部疾病的宝贵工具。
