Hi Dear Doctor My little brother is going to perform adenoidectomy soon as it causes problems in his breathing. However, doctor suggested that a laser surgery would be good. Is it so? Is there any side effect of laser surgery or what advantages it has than any other processes? Regards
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Laser surgeries are newer surgical technique in which Nd YAG laser is used for tissue cutting. Advantages of laser surgery are 1. High safety. 2. Fewer chances of bleeding, intraoperatively as well as post operative. 3. Precise tissue cutting is possible, so less damage to the surrounding vital structures. 4. Less Surgical time is required so less anesthesia dosage is required. So laser surgeries are safer and less time-consuming than conventional surgeries. The only Chat Doctor.  It costs almost double as that of conventional surgery. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your younger brother. Thanks.
