The aim of the study was to assess the effect of CO(2) laser on stapes prostheses and measure the heat transmission to the vestibule in experiment model. CO(2) laser was applied on two types of prostheses with power settings (2 and 6W; 0.05 s). Transmission of heat to the 'vestibule' was measured using type K thermocouple and DC-80 data logger during application of the laser on prostheses using a training model of temporal bone. Application of the laser on stainless steel prosthesis did not have any effect on the structure of the prosthesis. The use of the laser on the fluoroplastic-wire piston caused melting and produced holes in the piston. Greater temperature rises occurred with stainless steel than with the fluoroplastic-wire piston. Application of CO(2) laser on stainless steel pistons with 6W can produce inner ear trauma. The use of the laser on fluoroplastic-wire piston is not likely to irritate the inner ear.
