Lasers are playing a more important role in rhinologic surgery. A new laser, the KTP/532, provides flexible fibers that can be combined with nasal endoscopes to reach the recesses and spaces of the nasal cavity. It can deal effectively with turbinate dysfunction, bleeding disorders, polyps, and scarring. The author's experience with the use of this laser is described.
