✦ Synopsis

Whereas the focused COz laser may be used as a cutting instrument in less vascularized tissue with limited trauma to the surrounding tissue, use of the defocused Nd-YAG laser results in homogeneous coagulation with an energydependent depth effect. Thus, residual tumor tissue may be cauterized selectively with a depth effect which can be predicted with satisfactory precision. Tumor shrinkage and demarcation based on different absorption properties facilitates dissection and, moreover, allows the preservation of healthy tissue. The excellent coagulating properties of the Nd-YAG laser render it especially effective in cases of highly vascularized meningeal tumors.

In neurosurgical practice the laser can be considered an additional instrument to improve conventional techniques, or even a new method of treatment of some cerebral lesions. A complete laser surgery requires the association of three laser sources in combination. The CO, laser is useful for cutting

The use of the neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser in urology is still in its infancy. To date, the most widely published application of this laser is in the treatment of bladder carcinoma. We have utilized the Nd:YAG laser in 23 treatments for superficial bladder tumors. The laser has both advantages and

Background and Objective: Many laser centres utilise various transparent membranes during treatment sessions with Qswitched lasers to prevent or reduce tissue splatter, thereby reducing the aerosolised biohazard of cellular debris to operator and laser. Study Design/Materials and Methods: We perform
