Abstract
In four years from July 1988 to July 1992, surgical operation was performed in 261 patients, 306 cases at the laser outpatient clinic of the department of otolaryngology, National Defense Medical College. They are broken down to nasal disease 215 cases, oral cavity disease 68 cases, laryngo-tracheal disease 12 cases, pharyngeal disease 5 cases and 6 other cases. All the patients developed no such serious complications as requiring hospital admission, and laser operation was performed safely at outpatient clinic.It can be mentioned as the merit of laser surgery that hemorrhage during and after operation is very slight. With this surgery, intranasal tampon and special nasal treatment in rhinological surgery and suturing of the operative wound and extraction of stitches in oral surgery are no longer needed, which will make easy surgery at the outpatient clinic and expand the indications of such surgery.
