Laser Surgery

Laser surgery is a medical procedure that uses focused laser light to perform surgical tasks with precision and minimal invasiveness. Lasers (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) can be used for various medical and cosmetic procedures, offering advantages such as reduced bleeding, less pain, and quicker recovery times. Here are key aspects of laser surgery:

CO2 Lasers: Emit a beam of infrared light and are commonly used for cutting and vaporizing tissue. Often used in dermatology and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgeries.

YAG Lasers: Use a different wavelength and are used for procedures like eye surgeries, such as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), and certain types of tumor removals.

Argon Lasers: Utilize a blue-green beam and are often used in retinal surgery and certain dermatological treatments.

Diode Lasers: Emit light in the near-infrared spectrum and are used in various procedures, including dental and urological applications.
