<b>Video otoscopy-assisted Holmium: yttrium-aluminum garnet laser excision of aural masses in four dogs</b>

VALE of aural masses using a Ho:YAG laser is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for aural masses in dogs in the medium term, providing an alternative to TECALBO in three out of four of our cases. Direct excision of the mass using a laser can cause thermal necrosis of the tissue, making histopathologic diagnosis more challenging. More studies are required to determine the contraindications of this technique and to better quantify the outcomes and complications.
