Authors' objectives:
To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage related aspects regarding CO2 laser surgery use in patients with otosclerosis.
Authors' recommendations:
There is no adequate quality evidence comparing CO2 laser with conventional surgical techniques. The studies found seem to suggest that the safety and hearing results obtained in patients with otosclerosis undergoing CO2 laser would be similar to those obtained with mechanical techniques.
