Ablation efficiency and residual thermal damage produced by pulsed holmium laser radiation were investigated in vitro for bovine mitral valves and human calcified and noncalcified cardiac valves. Low-OH quartz fibers (200 and 600 pm core diameter) were used in direct contact perpendicular to the spe

## Background and Objective: The pulsed holmium laser is a promising tool for tissue ablation but possesses some limitations. For example, it is capable of producing significant mechanical damage in certain tissues in the form of fissures and fractures. Because longer pulse durations should reduce
A pulsed holmium laser transmitted through a quartz fiber was used to create osteotomies in the facial bones and sinuses of rabbits. The ablation process was quantified and residual thermal injury was assessed by light microscopy. Adjacent thermal damage was determined to vary between 130 and 220 pm
## Background and objective: Since 1992, the ho:yag 2100 nm laser has been in regular use in percutaneous lumbar disc surgery through the uniportal approach. in vitro experiments were done to find out the exact amount of ablated tissue in weight per energy used with the present beam delivery system
