  • Title: [The use of copper-vapor laser radiation on patients with chemical burns of the esophagus via fiber esophagoscopy].
    Author: Sinev IuV, Kovanev AV, Volkov SV.
    Journal: Sov Med; 1991; (7):27-9. PubMed ID: 1948336.
    Abstract:
    Fifty patients with chemical burns of the esophagus were examined fibroesophagoscopically. All of them underwent local endoscopic irradiation by a copper vapour laser. Laser treatment promoted more rapid healing of the esophageal wall. No cicatrization-induced strictures were noted. Adjuvant local laser therapy is believed valid in management of esophageal chemical trauma.
