Abstract

Purpose: To increase the efficiency of treatment and rehabilitation of patients with chronic cicatricial stenosis of the larynx and trachea using laser light after reconstructive surgery on the larynx and trachea. Material and methods. 40 patients with chronic stenosis of the larynx and trachea were divided into two groups: Group I (main) – 20 patients who had laser therapy sessions in postoperative period and Group II (controls) – 20 patients who had no laser therapy. All patients were examined with laser Doppler flowmetry using laser analyzer LAKK 01 with a single-channel tissue probing option. Laser therapeutic apparatus Mustang 2000 with a laser head generating in the red spectrum (wavelength 0.63–0.65 μm, pulse-periodic mode, frequency 80 Hz) was used for laser sessions. Average energy density was 1.5–3.0 J/cm2 . Laser therapy course consisted of 8–10 sessions with average exposure time 5 minutes per irradiated zone; and in case of extensive wound defects, total exposure time was increased by irradiating several fields on the wound surface.
