  • Title: The CO2 laser in surgery of vascular tumors of the oral cavity in children.
    Author: Barak S, Katz J, Kaplan I.
    Journal: ASDC J Dent Child; 1991; 58(4):293-6. PubMed ID: 1939793.
    Abstract:
    The three cases of children treated for excision of oral hemangiomas presented here illustrate the advantages of using the CO2 laser rather than a scalpel in surgery for vascular lesions of the oral cavity. This laser has the ability to coagulate, vaporize, or cut; its main advantage, however, is its ability to seal blood vessels during surgery. Satisfactory healing in infants and children makes the CO2 laser the preferred method for performing vascular surgery.
