“…Nine (17.0%) device malfunctions resulted in patient injury, of which 5 (9.4%) required post-procedure intervention. The device malfunctions most commonly causing delayed cases were flare (7), fiber break (3), and overheated device following use (3). Failure of the laser to activate accounted for both of the 2 cases that were completed with an alternate device.…”

“…The laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is used for diverse surgical applications, including extensively in head and neck surgery 1 , 2 . Otolaryngologists began exploring the potential for laser surgery as early as the 1960s 3 , 4 . Coupling of the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser to the surgical microscope in the 1970s provided a novel means to achieve precise hemostatic dissection.…”

“…Laser stapedotomy is a technique that has been proposed for several decades [ 8 ], although it has not shown a clear advantage in success rate over the conventional technique [ 9 – 12 , 19 – 21 ], has been associated with a lower frequency of complications. A systematic review on the use of laser reports a higher success rate with this technology [ 5 ].…”
