Optics and Lasers in Medicine

There are some surgical operations that are perplexing to do with the conventional blade. Initial trials with laser beam displayed that a finely focused beam from a carbon dioxide gas laser possibly will cut through human tissue naturally and neatly. The doctor could direct the beam from any angle by using a mirror attached on a movable metal arm. Therefore, now a day’s laser beam is the most desirable instrument which is used as a standby for the conventional blade to do problematic surgeries. Lasers were considered as best effective in operating on parts that are easy to reach-areas on the body's external, including the ears, skin, mouth, eyes and nose. But in recent years doctors have recognized the remarkable progress in emerging laser techniques internal for use in exploration and surgery.
