## 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

Erb:YAG and HokYAG laser ablation rates of fibrocartilage and nucleus pulposus were measured in vitro simulating clinical conditions. After ablation macroscopic and microscopic appearance of the ablation site was investigated. HokYAG and Erb:YAG laser mean ablation rates increased almost linearly wi
Background and Objective: As the Ho:YAG laser gained increasing importance in recent experimental and clinical investigations, this study was performed to investigate the effect of power on ablation rates and temperature during disc ablation with a high power Ho:Yag laser under simulated clinical co
## Abstract Preliminary observations of a pulsed HorYAG laser on human uterine tissue inβvitro are presented. The tissue effect on the uterine myometrium was demonstrated using fresh uteri which had been subjected to laser energy. The laser crater and surrounding zone of thermal necrosis (ZTN) was
Excimer laser energy, which has been shown to photoablate tissue at a precisely controllable rate with minimal thermal damage, was applied to human intervertebral disc in an effort to develop a technique for percutaneous discectomy. Cadaveric samples of human disc were used. Excimer laser energy was
