Laser scalpel - A laser scalpel is a scalpel for surgery, cutting tissue by the energy of laser light. Excimer laser - An excimer laser is a form of ultraviolet chemical laser which is commonly used in eye surgery and semiconductor manufacturing. Excimer laser-assisted nonocclusive anastomosis - Excimer laser assisted nonocclusive anastomosis (ELANA) is a technique in vascular surgery and neurosurgery to create a bypass without interrupting blood supply in the recipient blood vessels. Photorefractive keratectomy - Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy (LASEK) are laser eye surgery procedures intended to correct a person's vision and reduce their dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The procedures permanently change the shape of the anterior central cornea using an excimer laser to ablate (burn off) a small amount of tissue from the corneal stroma at the front of the eye, just under the corneal epithelium. lasersurgery |
