    Carbon dioxide (CO2) and neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers offer safe endoscopic management for tracheobronchial diseases. While each laser has unique uses, they can be safely interchanged with proper precautions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Laser Medicine
    • Endoscopic Surgery

    Background:

    • Tracheobronchial tree diseases require effective endoscopic management.
    • Various laser technologies are being explored for these applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the use of CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers in endoscopic tracheobronchial interventions.
    • To compare the advantages and disadvantages of each laser wavelength.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on CO2 and Nd:YAG laser applications in airway disease.
    • Analysis of safety profiles and efficacy for each laser type.

    Main Results:

    • Both CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers demonstrate utility in endoscopic management.
