El láser en el tratamiento de la patología obstructiva traqueobronquial ha llegado a ser una herramienta imprescindible. Mientras que el láser de CO2, muy útil a nivel de vías altas, era de difícil manejo a partir de tráquea, la llegada del láser de Yag-Nd con su capacidad de transmisión por fibra óptica ha facilitado el acceso a puntos más distales del árbol traqueobronquial. Nuevas terapéuticas como el láser de argonDye, útil también para diagnóstico precoz, se están desarrollando actualmente.

Mientras que la terapia con láser es curativa en los tumores benignos, donde tiene más implicación por el número de casos es en la patología maligna, como tratamiento paliativo. El 56 °/o de nuestros tratamientos corresponde a esta modalidad terapéutica.

Treatment with laser is becoming essential in tracheobronchial obstructive pathology. Laser using CO2 was useful for upper respiratory airways, but it was difficult to manage at the tracheal level. In contrast, Yag-Nd laser is able to be transmitted through optical fibers and in this way more distal points of the tracheobronchial tree can be reached. New therapies based on argon-dye laser are also being developed. Laser therapy is curative in cases of benign tumors and it constitutes a palliative treatment in cases of malignant pathology. The latter application might be more relevant due to the number of patients. Among laser treatments performed in our institution, 56% corresponded to palliative treatment.
