ENT Laser Surgery
Transoral Laser Microsurgery
CO2 Lasers have revolutionized the way otolaryngologists approach surgery, enabling highly precise and, often, less invasive treatment of a wide range of Head & Neck applications.
Unlike open surgery, CO2 lasers can remove cancer with fewer disturbances to structures, nerves, and tissue.

CO2 Laser Technology for ENT
Lumenis’ advanced laser systems enable highly controlled, smart tissue managment for treating delicate anatomy and preservation of healthy tissue.
Lumenis’ CO2 technology is associated with clean margins which is one of the most valuable objectives for pathology and malignant surgical procedures as well as patient healing process.
Surgical approach – Transoral Laser Microsurgery
TLM -Transoral laser microsurgery is the most used acronym for CO2 laser endoscopic transoral surgery of the pharynx using the CO2 laser. Lumenis CO2 laser TLM procedure is a synonym for precision. The term TLM is not limited to rigid surgical approach. It also represents flexibility. Surgical approach where compliance to flexible endoscopy and robotic surgery is possible and treating precisely on hard to reach anatomy is achievable.
TLM as first line treatment
The use of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or cold knife surgery in the treatment of transoral airway cancer may be associated with complications that can dramatically alter facial appearance.
Due to the delicacy and minimally invasive operative method, CO2 lasers are increasingly becoming a first line treatment of early stage airway cancers, especially in the larynx. Studies have demonstrated considerable cost savings and equivalent or better treatment outcomes for transoral laser resection of laryngeal tumors in comparison to radiation.1
TLM Advantages:

Clinical Indications
Studies have shown that compared with other types of lasers and treatment modalities, Physicians using CO2 lasers for ear surgery can attain superior outcomes (1,2,3).
The Lumenis CO2 laser solutions are uniquely designed to provide diverse treatment options in the operating room or the outpatient setting, under local or complete anesthesia. Partial list of approved indications for use includes: Stapedotomy, Acoustic Neuroma, Cholesteatoma, Eustachian tube dysfunction, Polyps and granulation tissue in external ear canal, Otitis media, Congenital aural atresia, Otosclerosis, Revision stapedotomy, Cochlear implant revision.
