[Laser vaporization for tracheobronchial lesions using a double intubation technique under general anesthesia]

A method for simple and safe management of laser vaporization is described. Following intubation with a thin endobronchial tube which is removed from a twin-lumen tube, a thick endotracheal tube for a bronchial fiberscope is intubated. This double intubation technique provides for a safe and long operation without danger of vapor inhalation.
