Abstract
Laser impacts may destroy tissue in any organ of the body. Because of the special interests, developments and importance, laser neurosurgery is considered in a separate chapter. In Chapter 15, the laser effects on organs other than the eye, the skin and the nervous system will be reviewed briefly.
