Abstract
The laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) has been used in Otolaryngology for over 20 years and is by now an accepted part of the armamentarium. A tremendous amount of work is being done in refining existing techniques and developing new ones, and this review discusses some of the recent advances.
