  • The need for precise and minimally invasive surgical tools is increasing.
  • Neodymium YAG lasers offer potential for controlled tissue interaction.

Purpose:

  • To introduce a novel contact laser scalpel for surgical tissue dissection.
  • To evaluate the hemostatic and dissecting efficacy of the device.
  • To assess the device's usability in challenging surgical environments.

Summary:

  • A laser scalpel utilizing Neodymium YAG Laser technology and sapphire monocrystal tips was developed for contact tissue dissection.
  • The device demonstrated satisfactory hemostatic and dissecting effects with minimal energetic losses.
  • Its lightweight and handy design facilitates precise dissections in hard-to-reach thoracic and abdominal areas.

Impact:

  • Provides surgeons with a precise, effective tool for tissue dissection and hemostasis.
  • Potentially reduces operative time and blood loss in surgical procedures.
  • Enhances surgical capabilities in minimally invasive and complex operations.
