Features and conditions of laser usage in medicine are concisely presented. Histopathological lesions of skin, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, liver and other organs are described characterizing injuries caused by CO2 laser in experimental of human surgical material. A narrow carbonized border and giant cell reparative reaction on the opposite margin, tissue and cell evaporization and a special type of muscle and adipose tissue necrosis enable discriminate laser injuries from surgical wounds and electrocautery injuries.
