Surgical lasers use special light beams to perform surgical procedures instead of surgical instruments such as scalpel. Various types of lasers are used, each with specific functions during surgery. Laser light can be delivered either continuously or intermittently and can be used with fiber optics to treat areas of the body that are often difficult to access. Laser surgery is less invasive and has the advantage of reducing risk of infection and promotes fast healing. Laser therapy uses high-intensity light to treat cancer and other illnesses. These can be used to shrink or destroy tumors or precancerous growths and treat superficial cancers including cancers on the surface of the body or the lining of internal organs such as basal cell skin cancer and the early stages of some cancers such as cervical, penile, vaginal, vulvar, and non-small cell lung cancer. Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers, argon lasers, and neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers are mostly used to trea...
