The use of lasers in the pediatric patient has seen great advances. The development of new instruments and delivery equipment has made the laser available for use in smaller anatomic locations. Experience with adults has shown the appropriate laser parameters to minimize thermal effects and scarring. The carbon dioxide laser remains the laser used in most pediatric applications for endoscopic work, but other lasers have shown unique advantages in pediatric patients as well.
激光在儿科患者中的应用取得了巨大进展。新仪器和输送设备的发展使激光能够用于更小的解剖部位。成人使用经验已表明了合适的激光参数，以将热效应和瘢痕形成降至最低。二氧化碳激光仍是儿科内镜手术中最常用的激光，但其他激光在儿科患者中也显示出独特优势。
