Reconstructive Surgery for Head and Neck Tumors by Contact Nd:YAG Laser Technique

  • Chapter
Advances in Nd:YAG Laser Surgery

Although the usefulness of laser power in surgery has been proven, its application using carbon dioxide (CO2) or the Nd:YAG laser in the field of head and neck surgery has only recently begun. Usage of the Nd:YAG laser has a beneficial effect on hemostasis and coagulation. Its weakness, however, lies in the cutting and evaporation of tissue. The contact laser probe, made of ceramic, is a new form of the Nd:YAG laser delivery system that by means of contact irradiation, can be used in coagulation, vaporization, and cutting.
