Abstract
During the last quarter century the use of directed energy from lasers has become very important in medicine. Directed energy from lasers has been used to cut tissue, to cauterize bleeding, to drill small pressure relief holes and to selectively destroy tissue growths. In this paper lasers of interest in such applications are described and compared.Keywords
