Surgical Use Of Lasers

The purpose of this presentation is to give a general background of how lasers work and why they are particularly effective in surgical procedures. The presentation is not a replacement for a physician training class or a hospital-sponsored laser safety class.

In order to keep the presentation concise, the scope of the discussion has been limited to how holmium lasers are used in endourology.
