Background and Objective: Studies need to define the optimal parameters under which the holmium laser should operate for arthroscopic meniscectomy. This study was designed to analyze the effect of various Holmium wavelength pulsewidths on human meniscal tissue penetration rates and lateral thermal i

Background and objectives: Laser radiation in the 2 m wavelength region is well-absorbed by water and has good transmittance through commercially available, low-OH quartz optical fibers which are generally acknowledged to have great potential for medical application in endoscopic and open surgery.

Background and Objective: Histological effects of 2.1-m Ho:YAG and 1.06-m Nd:YAG laser pulses were compared in the rat brain, with special regard to areas remote from the irradiated site. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Laser pulses were delivered through a 0.6-mm glass fiber, the tip of which w
