Background: Laser surgery and radiotherapy are commonly used to treat glottic cancer. Objective of Review: To compare outcomes and cost of laser surgery versus radiotherapy for T1–T2N0 glottic cancer. Type of Review: Meta-analysis. Search Strategy: The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Ovid MEDLINE In-Process & Other NonIndexed Citations, Embase, Web of Science (1990–2010) were se...

To the Editor: For half a decade now, cataract surgeons in everincreasing numbers are employing the femtosecond laser for arcuate and corneal incisions, capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation before they perform the somewhat reduced part of manual surgery, the removal of the lens fragments and the intraocular lens implantation. The technology has been discussed in peerreviewed journals, at convent...

introduction: human eye is a sensitive part of human body with no direct protection and due to its lack of protection against the external heat waves, studying the temperature distribution of heat waves on the human eye is of utmost importance. various lasers are widely used in medical applications such as eye surgeries. the most significant issue in the eye surgeries with laser is estimation o...

Purpose: The use of the endoscopic techniques in plastic surgery has been a significant turn around of the traditional techniques. However, the combination of the laser with laser surgery has been very slow. Method: Between January 1996 and January2003, 42 patients have been treated for removal of benign tumor. 18 males and 24 females. Their age ranged from 5 to 64 years. The laser that we are ...

PURPOSE To describe two cases of successful femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in patients with a transparent hydrogel corneal inlay (Raindrop Near Vision Inlay; ReVision Optics, Inc., Lake Forest, CA). METHODS Case report. RESULTS In both cases, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery was performed with the inlay in place. The femtosecond laser pulses were delivered without di...

BACKGROUND Laser surgery is an attractive alternative to other means of section device in terms of tissue inflammation and interaction, which has been extensively used in human and veterinary medicine. Although accidental ignition during laser surgeries is sporadically reported in human medical literature, to the authors' knowledge this is the first report regarding laser-dependent fire ignitio...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of low level laser application on postoperative pain after endodontic surgery in a double blind, randomized clinical study. Fifty-two healthy adults undergoing endodontic surgery were included into the study. Subsequently to suturing, 26 patients had the operation site treated with an 809 nm-GaAlAs-laser (oralaser voxx, Oralia GmbH, Konstanz, Germ...
