Subsequent sections describe procedures for the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx, nose, ear, and skin and hair. Coverage includes laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty, laser-assisted tonsil ablation, laser-assisted endoscopic laryngeal surgery, laser photocoagulation of the inferior turbinates, ambulatory endoscopic sinus surgery, laser-assisted tympanoplasty, middle ear endoscopy, office myringoplasty, double eyelid blepharoplasty, midface lift, endoscopic forehead plasty, laser blepharoplasty and laser-assisted endoforehead lift, cutaneous laser resurfacing, hair transplantation, laser-assisted hair removal, and botulinum toxin injections for facial wrinkles.
