    Abstract:
    Lasers have been used in otorhinolaryngology for more than 2 decades. The Carbon Dioxide laser has been the ideal choice for many otolaryngologists, in addition to the Nd:YAG, KTP, and Argon lasers. Each of the presently available lasers has it benefits and limitations. Advances in laser technology, new laser wavelengths, and delivery systems provides more choices for clinical use. A review of the uses of lasers in otology, rhinology and head and neck surgery, and advances in technology is presented. The advantages, limitations, tissue interaction, complications, present, and future clinical applications are discussed.
