Ultra-precise minimally invasive laser surgery with picosecond laser pulses

摘要

We conducted an experimental ex vivo study of feasibility using a picosecond (ps) laser emitting at 1030 nm for precise minimally invasive (micro) surgery. The results indicate that plasma generated by the ps laser enables deep and coagulation-free ablation. Thus, ps laser technology can be of high value for dermatology as well as for other specialties requiring precise cutting.
