Carbon Dioxide transoral laser microsurgery represents a reliable option for the treatment of early glottic carcinoma (Tis–T2), with good functional and oncological outcomes, nowadays representing one of the main options in larynx preservation protocols. The development and improvement of laser devices means surgeons are able to use more precise instruments compared with classic cold dissection in laser-assisted phonosurgery. Secondary effects on voice, swallowing, or quality of life as well as complications have been well documented. Also, with the introduction of a new proposal for staging systems following the principle of the three-dimensional map of isoprognostic zones, the use of narrow-band imaging in clinical evaluation and intraoperative, and the implementation of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance during preoperative evaluation, the development of new tools to improve surgical quality and preliminary reports regarding the use of carbon dioxide laser in transoral robotic surgery suggests an exciting future for this technique.

A laser milling process employing a pulsed, carbon dioxide laser has been investigated using graphite as a model material. Material is removed by scanning the focused beam across the surface of the workpiece leaving behind a series of narrow, parallel, overlapping grooves. These grooves, together, constitute the removal of a thin layer of uniform thickness lying parallel to a layer plane. In order to remove layers bounded at the edge by upright walls perpendicular to the layer plane, the laser beam must be tilted with respect to the layer plane. Using this approach, it is possible to produce perpendicular steps and cylindrical surfaces.

While much is known regarding the effect of lasers on the retina, little study has been done on the effect of lasers on cornea, because of the limitation of the size of the material. Using a combination of electron microscope and several newly developed cytochemical methods, the effect of laser can now be studied on eye for the purpose of correlating functional and morphological damage. The present paper illustrates such study with CO2 laser on Rhesus monkey.
