Abstract

Lasers in thoracic surgery have some advantages if to compare with other techniques applied in pulmonology. It is specifically effective for the resection of multiple metastases. The article presents clinical and experimental information on lasers most frequently used in thoracic surgery. A separate part of the article is devoted to modern possibilities of lasers in thoracoscopy. The authors also discuss all laser applications for curing endobronchial tumours. Most often, it is a palliative cure which prolongs the life of patients with malignant endobronchial lesions as well as improves their somatic status and quality of life. To extend the range of possibilities for thoracic surgeons and oncologists, further researches on peculiarities of laser light interaction with organism and pulmonary tissues and on the frequency of laser light exposures are needed.
