  • Title: [Indications and results of the use of YAG laser in bronchology. Apropos of 89 cases].
    Author: Toty L, Personne C, Colchen A, Leroy M, Vourc'h G.
    Journal: Rev Fr Mal Respir; 1980; 8(3):201-10. PubMed ID: 7187063.
    Abstract:
    A YAG Laser beam adapted to bronchial endoscopy was used in 89 patients (6 bronchial tumors, 7 tumors of reduced malignancy, 37 tracheo-bronchial cancers, 39 iatrogenic lesions including 24 stenosis and 15 granulomas). Curative indications (isolated bronchial tumors, diaphragm-like stenosis) were rare. The authors stress the interest of palliative indications: inoperable tracheal stenosis and certain forms of tracheobronchial cancers. The criteria of lesions attainable by the Laser are specified.
