“…The argon laser [7] has by far the most experience. In addition, there have been reports of the successful application of the CO 2 laser [22,23], the KTP laser [24], the Ho:YAG laser [25], the magnet laser [26], the diode laser [27], and the Nd:YAG laser [9,28]. The prerequisite for a laser surgical treatment of hypertrophic inferior turbinates is that the cause of the nasal airways obstruction is predominantly due to mucosal swelling of the inferior turbinate.…”

“…Although the Nd:YAG laser was used in only 26 nasal procedures, it proved to be well suited to endoscopic sinus surgery, given its 400‐μm fiberoptic contact delivery system. 53–57 The Nd:YAG laser is ideally suited for endoscopic Zenker's diverticulectomy 58–61 (Fig. 17).…”

Objective: Lasers have been used in otolaryngology as a surgical instrument for more than 25 years, and the CO 2 laser has emerged as the most widely employed surgical laser in use today. However, recent technological advances have made the Nd:YAG laser a challenger as an effective photothermal surgical tool. Study Design and Methods: This is a two-part study. Tissue injury and healing profiles after application of both the CO 2 and Nd:YAG lasers are compared using an in vivo rat tongue model. A prospective clinical review based on the experience of 327 operative cases spanning a 7-year interval using the Nd:YAG laser, highlighting its various applications and associated complications, is detailed. Results: Comparable tissue and healing effects were noted with both lasers in the in vivo rat tongue model with no statistical differences. The clinical application of the laser showed wide versatility in the head and neck with a complication rate of 3%. Conclusion: The Nd:YAG laser has proved equivalent in tissue damage and healing to the CO 2 laser. The Nd:YAG laser has proved itself to be an excellent and perhaps superior laser for use in head and neck surgery. Key Words: Nd:YAG laser, in vivo model, prospective review, head and neck.

In der Rhinologie wurden bisher verschiedene Lasersysteme, wie Argon-, KTP-, Dioden-, Nd:YAG-, Ho:YAG-, Er:YAG-und CO 2 -Laser bei unterschiedlichen Erkrankungen eingesetzt. Die Vorteile der Lasertechnik im Bereich der Nase und Nasennebenhöhlen sind eine gute intraoperative Übersicht durch die deutlich verbesserte Hämostase, eine hohe Präzision bei der Gewebeabtragung, eine geringe Gewebetraumatisierung und hieraus resultierend eine geringe Ödemneigung sowie Abnahme der postoperativen Schmerzen. In vielen Fällen kann auf die Einlage einer Nasentamponade verzichtet werden. Die Kenntnis der biophysikalischen Wirkung des jeweiligen Lasersystems und die sorgfältige Indikationsstellung für eine bestimmte Erkrankung führen zu sehr guten Behandlungsergebnissen. So hat aus unserer Sicht die Lasertherapie einen festen Stellenwert in der Behandlung der Nasenmuschelhyperplasie, der rezidivierenden Epistaxis einschlieûlich des M. Osler, von Hämangiomen und vaskulären Malformationen, der Choanalatresie, von begrenzten benignen Veränderungen sowie des Rhinophyms. Die Anwendung in der Septum-und Nasennebenhöhlenchirurgie sowie der endonasalen Tränenwegschirurgie hingegen muss zur Zeit noch mit Zurückhaltung beurteilt werden.
