✦ Synopsis

Background and

Objective: Hemangiomas have a typical clinical course and may lead to life-threatening obstruction if the central respiratory tract is involved. Study Design/Patients and Methods: This was observed in 32 children over a period of 20 years. The radiation parameters and application procedure of Neodymium:Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet-laser (Nd:YAG-laser) therapy were adjusted for the degree of obstruction and the type of disease. Results: The success rate was 93.8%, of which a maximum of one application was sufficient in 24 children (75.0%). Subglottic cicatricial stenosis was considered a laser-related complication. Conclusion: Nd:YAG-laser treatment is a safe and effective therapeutic measure for eliminating respiratory tract obstruction caused by hemangiomas.

## Abstract Vast experience with hemangiomas has allowed us to categorize those that could be treated with the CO~2~ or argon laser. Certain types will be contraindicated for laser surgery as they are very difficult to remove with present techniques.
