  • Title: [Use of the YAG laser in tracheobronchial pathology. Apropos of 154 cases].
    Author: Guérin JC, Martinat Y, Pignat JC, Haguenauer JP.
    Journal: Rev Pneumol Clin; 1984; 40(6):363-7. PubMed ID: 6531572.
    Abstract:
    The laser has been used for several years in a number of medical disciplines and more recently in pneumology. The authors report their personal experience and define two principal types of indication for this technique: iatrogenic tracheal stenoses, in which the laser is able to effectively treat granulomas and to a lesser extent stenoses, and malignant tracheo-bronchial tumours, in which the laser is usually only a palliative form of treatment which improves the quality of the patient's survival. The other indications and their results are also briefly reviewed.
