Introduction
"In the early days of lasers it came as a surprise that these tools of light could be used in the science of medicine, since no one envisioned that they might be able to heal or otherwise improve people's physical well-being."
The laser is a revolutionary tool that can assist doctors throughout the world with various procedures. It has changed how a surgeon can approach a surgery in being more efficient and accurate for a better outcome for patients. Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. This device uses technology with minimally invasive incisions leading to quick and healthy recovery with less cost in the long run. Lasers are also used in the general industry for many different reasons. Laser-cut wood products exhibit great precision. Compact discs, also called CDs, use lasers to store music and electronic data and are able to save information for long periods of time without any harm being done to them.
"A laser is a light beam that can be precisely focused. It is used to treat tissues by heating the targeted cells until they "burst." There are several types of lasers, including the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, the YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) laser, alexandrite, KTP, and the pulsed dye laser. Each laser has specific uses. The color of the light beam used is directly related to the type of surgery being performed and the color of the tissue being treated." "Laser surgeries can also be associated with the risk such as: hemorrhage, infection and perforation (piercing) of an organ or tissue."
