Background and Objectives: Laser-assisted stapedotomy has become a well-established alternative to the mechanical drilling method. The goal of this study is to quantify the mechanical and thermal tissue effects and to determine optimum erbium laser parameters for safe clinical treatment. Study Desig

## Background and Objective : Apart from the ablation properties at the stapes footplate, the degree of thermic loading in the inner ear is important in determining the suitability of pulsed lasers for stapedotomy. The aim of the study is to compare the thermic effects in the vestibule with differ
## Abstract ## Background and Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ablation of ossicular tissue using a 1,053 nm Ti:Sapphire chirped pulse amplifier laser system configured to deliver ultrashort pulses of 350 femtoseconds (fs) (3.5βΓβ10^β13^ seconds) in cadaver temporal bone. #
To find a less time-consuming alternative to conventional microsurgical vasovasostomy, we performed vasal anastomosis in four sterilized men by means of a NdYAG laser (wavelength 1,060 nm) under macroscopic conditions. After dissection of the vasal ends, the ends were approximated using 6-0 prolene
## Abstract A new liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry interface, the laser spray, has been developed. Explosive vaporization and mist formation occur when an aqueous solution effusing out from the tip of the stainlessβsteel capillary is irradiated from the opposite side of the capillary by a 10
