Abstract
It was Albert Einstein, who described the quantum theory of radiation in 1916 and published it in 1917, AL Schawlow described the fundaments of LASER 1940 and TH Maiman constructed the first LASER in 1960. But it needed until 1989 that “LASER in Neurosurgery”, Springer, was published by EF Downing, PW Ascher et al. presenting of the start-up of LASER use in neurosurgery during the 1970th and 1980th. However, while LASER played a major role in other disciplines in medicine, neurosurgery did never accept it widely.
