    This study demonstrates the effectiveness of Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd-YAG) laser in general surgery for both hemostasis and tissue cutting. The Nd-YAG laser proved useful in controlling bleeding and performing surgical cuts, with a preference for contact-type probes.

    Area of Science:

    • General Surgery
    • Surgical Technology
    • Laser Applications

    Background:

    • The integration of novel technologies in surgical procedures is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
    • The Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd-YAG) laser presents potential as a versatile tool in surgical settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical efficacy and applications of the Nd-YAG laser in general surgery.
    • To assess its performance as both a hemostatic and cutting instrument.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Nd-YAG laser with conventional quartz fiber for hemostasis in subcutaneous and solid organ bleeding.
    • Employed specialized devices, including noncontact (Medilas YAG surgical probe) and contact (laser blade) probes, for tissue cutting.
    • Performed four liver resections using these laser devices.

    Main Results:

    • Nd-YAG laser demonstrated significant hemostatic efficacy across various bleeding types in general surgical procedures.
    • The laser successfully cut tissue when used with specialized probes.
    • The contact-type probe was preferred over the noncontact probe for cutting applications.

    Conclusions:

    • Nd-YAG laser is a proven effective tool for hemostasis in general surgery.
    • The Nd-YAG laser can be utilized for tissue cutting with appropriate devices.
    • Contact-type probes are recommended for Nd-YAG laser tissue cutting in surgical contexts.
