    Abstract:
    Potentialities and results of laser bronchoscopic surgery of exophytic benign tumours of the trachea and bronchi are described. The material includes 37 patients (33 men and 4 women) aged 28-69 (mean age 51 years). Tumours were removed by the Nd-YAG laser. In six patients laser photodestruction was combined with electrosurgery. In 31 patients manipulations were done via bronchofiberscope under local anaesthesia and in six patients via a rigid bronchoscope under general anaesthesia. Complete removal of pathologic tissues was achieved in all patients. During 1-5 years of follow-up none of the patients developed recurrent tumours.
