[Updated laser technologies in otorhinolaryngology].

Abstract

Clinical trials have been conducted of a new therapeutic semiconductor laser from the Mustang series which generates laser radiation in red light range (0.63-0.65 mcm) in impulse mode. Laser therapy was given to 75 patients with different ENT diseases with good effect. A surgical laser unit CTH-10 (YAG-Ho laser, 2.09 mcm) has undergone pilot tests with good results in 12 patients with pain maxillofacial syndromes. Photodynamic therapy was used in upper respiratory tract cancer in 27 patients, the results are analysed.
