  • Title: Nd:YAG contact laser surgery. The scalpel of the future?
    Author: Midgley HC.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 1990 Feb; 23(1):99-105. PubMed ID: 2179826.
    Abstract:
    Lasers have been used in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery since the early 1970s, mainly for endoscopic applications. In particular, the author discusses the use of the Nd:YAG contact laser surgery. The techniques and training required in the use of these newer laser applications, including the flexible fiber system for use in the tracheobronchial tree, are reviewed.
