therapy) have, in the past, formed the mainstay of therapy. More recent developments in laser technology have enabled us to destroy blood vessels and pigment-containing cells selectively. A complete review of this technology and instructions on its use will allow an otolaryngologist to take full advantage of this new approach to the management of cutaneous pigmented and vascular lesions. This technology has also been used successfully to remove cosmetic and traumatic tattoos with little or no risk of scarfing.

Laser Stapedotomy RODNEY PERKINS,MD Palo Alto, Calif.
Since the development of the laser stapedotomy operation in 1978, the procedure is being performed by a growing number of otolaryngologists. Over the past 9 years the safety and efficacy of the operation have been clearly established, and the procedure is currently performed on an outpatient basis. This course is designed to familiarize the surgeon with the modifications and refinements the operation has undergone and provide information pertinent to the successful execution of the procedure. The material covered will include: 1. Historical background 2. Rationale 3. Instrumentation 4. Pertinent laser fundamentals 5. Patient preparation and local anesthesia 6. Surgical technique 7. Results 8. Control of thermal effect 9. Floating footplate 10. Obliterated footplate technique 11. Economic benefits of outpatient therapy A highly illustrated, integrated syllabus will facilitate note taking and provide a valuable reference for later review.
