The introduction of femtosecond lasers to cataract surgery has been the major disruptive technology introduced into ophthalmic surgery in the last decade. Femtosecond laser cataract surgery (FLACS) integrates high-resolution anterior segment imaging with a femtosecond laser allowing key steps of cataract surgery to be performed with computer-guided laser accuracy, precision, and reproducibility...

The peculiarities of light beam expansion in plasma upon irradiation condensed targets with a powerful UV laser pulse are studied the help mathematical modeling. Experiments were carried out at Lebedev Physical Institute Russian Academy Sciences use GARPUN installation: KrF that irradiated two-layer consisting aluminum foil and plexiglass layer. Channels stretched along direction incidence foun...

introduction: the purpose of this study is to evaluated the effect of low power laser on the survival of a skin flap on the dorsum of the rats. materials and methods: fifty male rats were divided into five groups. the surgery was done under general anesthesia where a full thickness skin flap (including panniculus carnosus) from the dorsum of the rats were randomly dissected. the flap size was 2...

Introduction  Diode laser is a new alternative in stapes surgery for otosclerosis. The present study is the first to compare the short-term results of the surgery performed using diode laser to those obtained through the conventional fenestration technique. Objective  To use audiometry to establish a comparative analysis between the functional results obtained through surgery for otosclerosis u...

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery provides surgeons an exciting new option to potentially improve patient outcomes and safety. Over the past 2 years, 4 unique laser platforms have been introduced into the marketplace. The introduction of this new technology has been accompanied by a host of new clinical, logistical, and financial challenges for surgeons. This article describes the evo...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the oncologic effectiveness of transoral laser surgery of supraglottic cancer, we compared a group of patients treated with laser surgery, with a stage-matched group treated with a transcervical approach. METHODS Twenty-six patients who underwent laser surgery were retrospectively compared with 26 patients who underwent a transcervical approach. In both groups, the pati...

BACKGROUND Postoperative pain is a common complication that can lead to serious morbidities and delayed recovery. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy on acute pain after tibial fracture surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this randomized clinical trial, 54 patients who were candidate for tibial fracture surgery were allocated randomly to tw...

BACKGROUND The comparatively evaluate the three surgical treatment modalities namely cryosurgery, diode and CO2 laser surgery in terms of healing outcomes on the day of surgery, first and second week post operatively and recurrence at the end of 18 months was assessed. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty selected patients were divided randomly into three groups. Each group comprising of ten patients ...

Femtosecond laser (FSL) cataract surgery is in its infancy but is rapidly gaining popularity due to the improved consistency and predictability for corneal incisions and anterior capsulorhexis. It enables subsequently less phacoemulsification energy and time to be employed, which has gains in terms of reduced corneal oedema. In addition, the FSL allows better circularity of the anterior capsulo...
