Abstract

The characteristics of CO2 lasers that render them interesting for surgical applications are reviewed. An instrument consisting of an integrated CO2 laser and beam manipulator, designed specifically for surgical research work, is descirbed. Operational characteristics of the instrument relevant to such work are reported. An accessory for endoscopic surgery is described and instrumentation for microsurgery is discussed. Surgical researches now in progress with this instrument are mentioned.
