Abstract

AbstractLaser technology has wide application in general surgery. The CO2 laser functions as a scalpel sealing small blood vessels in the process of dividing tissues. The YAG laser has been especially useful in the performance of liver resection and the coagulation of large vascular tumors. The utility of lasers in various types of general surgical procedures is discussed.
