Abstract:
On the basis of the authors' experience with 20 patients, CO2 laser resection of palatal tumours has proved to be a good alternative to conventional surgical resection. The CO2 laser beam permits precise resection, due to only slight intra-operative bleeding coupled with use of the operating microscope. Wound healing is good and post-operative pain remarkably little.
