Abstract
Examples of the advantages of laser therapy are:
-
1.
Excellent coagulation in the presence of highly vascularized tumors.
-
2.
Adequate delineation of tumors due to different tissue absorption properties (Figs. 1, 2).
-
3.
Surgery markedly facilitated due to laser-induced shrinkage of tumors (Figs. 3, 4).
-
4.
Precise denaturation of tumor tissue with a predictable depth effect.
