Fifty-four patients have been successfully endoscopically treated without complications using contact neodyrniurn:YAG laser probes (endoprobes) for tumors and bleeding and, during open surgery (laser scalpel), for liver and pancreatic resections. The contact probes made from a synthetic sapphire cry

The Nd:YAG laser has been used for tumor volume reduction of recurrent gynecologic malignant tumors after previous radiation therapy. The localization of the tumor did not allow conventional surgical resection or surgery was contraindicated because of severe medical problems. Hemorrhage caused by re
The effects of laser energy on three bacterial strains, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were studied utilizing the neodymium:YAG laser. Cell suspensions of each strain were divided into four groups. In group I, suspensions from each strain were exposed to laser en
Laryngeal surgery in the equine is customarily and routinely performed by means of a ventral laryngotomy incision. Such procedures are usually performed under deep general anesthesia with the horse in dorsal recumbency. The objective of this work was to determine the efficacy of an endoscopic approa
## Abstract ## Background Leg veins can be effectively treated with lasers. However, the optimal pulse duration for small leg veins has not been established in human studies with a Nd:YAG laser. ## Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate a range of pulse durations to determine an
A comparison is made of laser anastomoses of the murine vas deferens at different energies with the neodymium (Nd):YAG laser at 1.06 micron and 1.318 micron and with the CO2 laser. A total of 28 welds were performed with a free-hand technique employing a 600-micron silicon fiber with the Nd:YAG and
