There is a need for lasers that are compatible with fiberoptic endoscopes and that provide greater cutting precision than currently can be produced by the widely used Nd:YAG (1.06 pm) laser. Recently available lasers that operate in the 2-pm region fill this need. This laser light energy can be tran

There has been an increasing demand for liver transplantation, while the supply of liver grafts remains limited. Strategies to augment the donor pool include "liver-splitting", "domino" procedure, Living-related liver transplantation and the use of marginal donors. Simultaneously, there has been gro
Tissue effects of the mid-IR Holmium laser (emitting at a wavelength of 2130nm) were evaluated. This wavelength is attractive because it combines high water absorption and easy transmission through standard optical fibres. The laser was pulsed with pulse durations in the range of 100psec and repetit
An overview is given of current practice in deciding which patients can undergo a major abdominal operative procedure involving the hepatobiliary system. The criteria developed for individuals with normal and diseased livers are presented, and the unique circumstances of liver transplantation are al
Application of a ne0dymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd: YAG) laser was compared to conventional scalpel in dental soft tissue surgery. Two surgery sites on 29 patients were randomly selected and treated. An additional 41 patients were exclusively treated with the Nd:YAG laser. The surgical technique
