Lasers in Medicine and Surgery was created to provide a fundamental background for technicians on the theory of laser-tissue interactions as well as to describe commonly used lasers in medicine, optical delivery systems, and accessories frequently used with lasers. Numerous medical fields have been impacted by the use of lasers, including cosmetic dermatology, ophthalmology, dentistry, urology, and many others. Lasers are used for thermal coagulation of tissues as well as ablation and vaporization of both soft and hard tissues.
