✦ Synopsis

The author presents his experience with the use of carbon dioxide laser surgery on five patients with brain stem gliomas. Such problematically located tumors, when removed by this freehand, secure, and efficient technique. were completely evaporated with minimum trauma to neighboring tissue. This method represents new hope for these unfortunate patients. Additional time is needed before we can draw the conclusions regarding long-term results of the treatment described.

## Abstract Radiation from a CO~2~ laser has the dual effect of phototransection and photo‐coagulation. Incisions have been made in scleral‐chorioretinal tissue, lens tissue, and the vitreous body (with and without membrane formation). Results indicate that the CO~2~ laser may be useful in intravit
