    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Technology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • The argon laser has been used for stapedotomy in otosclerosis treatment.
    • Concerns exist regarding argon laser cost-effectiveness and potential saccular damage.

    Observation:

    • This study investigated the CO2 laser as an alternative for stapedotomy.
    • Experiments were conducted on seven cats and human cadaver temporal bones.

    Findings:

    • Histopathologic analysis in cats confirmed the safety and efficacy of CO2 laser stapedotomy.
    • Temperature measurements in human cadavers provided data for safe usage guidelines.

    Implications:

    • The CO2 laser presents a viable and safe alternative for stapedotomy procedures.
  • Further consideration for human clinical application of CO2 laser stapedotomy is warranted.
