Experimental study on thermic effects, morphology and function of guinea pig cochlea: A comparison between the erbium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet laser and carbon dioxide laser

Abstract: The Er:YAG and CO(2) lasers are shown to be safe if the total amount of energy is kept within the limits applied in this study. In addition, on this preliminary basis by guinea pig laser cochleostomy, Er:YAG laser maybe less damaging to inner ear structures than CO(2) laser with a larger safety scope and less thermic effects.

“…The specific role that thermal damage plays in preservation of residual cochlear function is unknown. Similar to stapes surgery, minimizing thermal injury would be ideal during cochlear implantation 8. A major advantage of the CO 2 laser is the characteristic shallow depth of penetration in water of ∼10 μm 6.…”

“…The laser source may either be continuous wave such as carbon dioxide lasers or pulsed lasers such as erbium:yttriumaluminium-garnet (Er:YAG), erbium:yttrium-scandiumgallium-garnet (Er:YSGG) and holmium:YAG. 25 Provided in their study involves the safety in relevance to total energy distribution and thermal generation with respect to laser irradiation towards the guinea pig cochlea.…”
