Laser, Electrocautery, and APC Treatment

Laser treatments utilize light energy to eliminate abnormal tissue growth or cancerous cells in the airway, seal off blood vessels, or to create a surgical incision. Electrocautery utilizes a high frequency current of electricity in order to remove unwanted tissue, seal off blood vessels, or to create a surgical incision in the airway. APC (Argon plasma coagulation) utilizes a gas ignited by an electric spark to do the same.
