  • Title: [Use of helium-neon lasers in the treatment of postoperative wounds of the pharynx].
    Author: Sitnikov VP, Medvedeva LL.
    Journal: Vestn Otorinolaringol; 1989; (5):46-9. PubMed ID: 2588415.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents the results of treatment of post-operative pharyngeal wounds in 54 tonsillectomized patients (residents of the Far North) using a helium-neon laser. The treatment had a significant analgetic and anti-inflammatory effect which was demonstrated by the so-called swallow test, bar-algisimetry, thermometry of the mucosa of the anterior palatine arches and mandibular area, and cytological examination of the exudate from the tonsillar niches. Application of a low energy helium-neon laser in tonsillectomized patients shortens the therapeutic period by 2 days.
