Laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) has failed to match the success rates of external DCR. It has been suggested that this technology may be best suited for revision of failed DCR cases. The authors prospectively evaluated the efficacy of transcanalicular laser-assisted revision

Since 1986, benign prostatic hyperplasia has been treated with lasers, but clinical use was not practical until the right-angled fiber was developed in the early 1990s. The neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser is one of four types available for treating the prostate.

A review of the use of neodymium:YAG laser in oral and maxillofacial surgery is presented. The Nd:YAG laser wavelength exhibits minimal tissue absorption and maximal penetration by comparison with the CO2 laser's maximal absorption and minimal penetration. These properties allow

Contact Nd:YAG laser surgery offers a new method of delivering laser energy to a target tissue site. Nd:YAG, a near-infrared laser, can be transmitted through an optical fiber delivery system to a synthetic sapphire probe. This sapphire probe can be

In this review, we discuss how nonendoscopic percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) and nucleotomy, using the YAG laser 1064, now has reinforced itself as a minimally invasive procedure in discogenic, vertebral pain syndromes, created by bulging, protrusions, and contained and
