The purpose of this study was to determine the current practice in endolaryngeal laser surgery in Germany.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design\/Materials and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A questionnaire was sent to 152 ENT Departments in Germany, care was taken that the responders could send back the questionnaire anonymously. Among other questions the participants were asked for the number of lasersurgical treatments of the larynx performed in the past, the usual type of ETTs in use, whether other safety precautions were taken during CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> laser surgery of the larynx and for intraoperative complications like tube ignition, fires or combustions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eighty six of the 152 addressed ENT departments replied. In laryngeal laser surgery, 59\/86 departments regularly use special laser tubes in daily routine (74.5%). In about 20,000 lasersurgical procedures, 15 incidents of ETT fire have been reported. In six of the reported 15 cases a tube fire occurred despite the fact that special laser tubes had been utilized.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present study could demonstrate that the use of special laser tubes does not necessarily protect against ETT fire. Thus, even when using special laser tubes other safety measures should be taken. In view of the maximum safety for the patient it has to be stated, that the safety during surgery correlates definitely with the experience of the surgeon. The weakest point of ETTs is usually situated in the cuff region. Lasers Surg.
