Laser induced fluorescence of intervertebral discs was investigated in this study for the first time in order to develop a fluorescence guided percutaneous excimer laser discectomy. For this purpose 35 human cadaveric intervetebral discs from level L1 to L5 were irradiated with a 308 nm XeCl excimer
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
## 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
