Laser Surgery by Evelyn, Columba Sara [Paperback] $65.33 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Laser surgery is surgery using a laser to cut tissue instead of a scalpel. Examples include the use of a laser scalpel in otherwise conventional surgery, and soft tissue laser surgery, in which the laser beam vaporizes soft tissue with high water content. Laser resurfacing is a technique in which molecular bonds of a material are dissolved by a laser. Laser surgery is commonly used on the eye. Techniques used include LASIK, which is used to correct near and farsightedness in vision, and photorefractive keratectomy, a procedure which permanently reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to remove a small amount of tissue.

Soft Tissue Laser Surgery $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In soft tissue laser surgery, interaction of laser light with the soft tissue provides a special approach to surgery. A highly focused laser beam vaporizes the soft tissue with the high water content. Laser can make very small incisions when the beam is focused on the tissue (focal spot size can be as small as 0.1 mm, but the most widely used in practice is 0.4 mm). When the beam is defocused, the intensity of the laser light on the tissue diminishes, and it can be used for cauterization of small blood vessels and lymphatics, therefore decreases postoperative swellings.

Strabismus Surgery $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Strabismus surgery is surgery on the extraocular muscles to correct the misalignment of the eyes. With approximately 1.2 million procedures each year, extraocular muscle surgery is the third most common eye surgery in the United States. Strabismus surgery is a one day procedure. The patient only spends few hours in the hospital with minimal preoperative preparation. The average duration of the surgery is variable according to the number of muscles operated. On average, every muscle operated takes 1015 minutes. In case of reoperations it may take longer. After surgery, pain is not significant. The patient should expect some soreness and redness, however pain killers are rarely needed. Again, in cases of reoperations, more pain is expected. Resection of the muscles is more painful in the post operative period than recession. It also leaves redness that lasts longer and may cause some vomiting in the early post operative period.

According to the Department of National Defence, in 2000, a total of 1830 personnel were deployed on the YAGs for a total of 585 days and steamed over 25,000 nautical miles (46,000 km) in support of training. YAGs displace 70 tonnes, and are divided into five major belowdecks compartments: right forward, a chain locker, then the forward cabin, containing the galley, one of the heads (washrooms) and the officers eating and sleeping areas, as well as the gyroscopic (gyro) compass.

Unique Uses for Lasers in the Medical Field

The first laser was invented in 1960, relatively recently in terms of scientific and medical history. But in the decades since its first successful test, the laser has become a highly sophisticated tool that has revolutionized the medical field in a variety of ways. Here are just five of the ways in which lasers are used in medicine today.

Dentistry
Lasers have helped make dental procedures much less painful affairs than they used to be. Many dentists today use Nd-YAG lasers as opposed to metal drills to treat cavities. Decayed material that forms in tooth cavities is softer than healthy tooth enamel. A dentist will thus set the laser to a strong enough setting to burn away the decayed tissue but not strong enough to harm the healthy enamel.

Laser Scalpels
By using a highly focused laser beam instead of a metal scalpel, surgeons can make difficult and dangerous incisions with much greater ease and safety than before. Carbon dioxide lasers are the most common types of lasers used for scalpels. They can cut cleanly and precisely through human tissue, while cauterizing broken blood vessels as they move along, thus preventing excessive blood loss. The depth of the laser cut is always constant, which is another advantage, since using a conventional scalpel runs the risk of a doctor cutting too deeply.

Removing Artery Plaque
Cleaning a heart’s arteries conventionally involves opening the chest cavity to access the arteries directly. Needless to say, this is a risky procedure with a long and painful recovery period. By inserting a tiny optic fiber attached to a laser into a patient’s arm or leg vein, doctors can forego open heart surgery and achieve the same goal in a much less invasive way. The optical fiber serves as the surgeons eyes. Once the plaque is spotted, the laser is fired and the plaque is burned away. The vapor is absorbed by a small plastic tube inserted along with the optical array.

Low Level Laser Therapy
This is probably the newest form of medical laser use and it has just recently been getting official recognition by the FDA and the medical community. Low level laser therapy involves exposing tissue to low wavelength laser light in order to treat muscle pain, tendinitis and to help in the process of healing wounds among other things.

Cosmetic Lasers
Aesthetic lasers are used in the field of cosmetic surgery to remove birth marks and skin blotches. These procedures take advantage of lasers’ monochromatic quality. Lasers only shine in a single color, which can be adjusted so that it is absorbed by the patch of skin that’s being treated.
