The laser has been welcomed to the neurosurgical armamentarium because of the inherent precision and gentleness of the no-touch technique. In order to maximize laser safety and efficacy, however. certain anesthesiologic considerations. specific to neurosurgery, must be realized. Motion of patient (t

A three-fold approach to the status of laser neurosurgery was taken: 1) Questionnaire to Program Directors for neurosurgery training in the United States and Canada; 2) an analysis of titles in the preliminary neurosurgery program of the Fifth International Congress of Neurosurgery; 3) A literature
New technical advances have made feasible the utilization of low-powered laser energy for constructive applications. Experience with laser bonding of blood vessels, peripheral nerves, and dura has been obtained. These studies are summarized, and the future potential of laser bonding of tissues of th
