ABSTRACT

The physical and clinical features of a number of laser energy sources presently being used in plastic and endonasal surgery, such as the Nd:YAG, KTP, Ho:YAG, Er:YAG and CO(2) lasers, are emphasized. Particular attention is paid to the Nd:YAG laser and to an Nd:YAG laser-powered quartz laser scalpel.
