Abstract

"Analysis of the Evaporation to Sublimation Phase Transition during Minimal Invasive Surgery Procedures via Pulsed CO2 lasers"

Highlights

  • The Definition of Ultra-Conservative MIS (UCMIS) and Its ImportanceMinimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a type of surgery aiming to minimize the size of surgical incisions

  • The PMMA ablation temperature and the start of the evaporation phase can happen only starting from 354.5 degC or above

  • More investigations are needed to validate the whole procedure before any preliminary surgical utilization can be considered

Summary

Objective

This Paper describes a mathematical approach to quantify the phase transition from ablation to evaporation of PMMA irradiated by pulsed CO2 laser devices to be used as reference data for Ultra-Conservative Minimally Invasive Surgery (UCMIS) with commercially available medical lasers. This step is important because it allows forecasting the micro boundary drilling conditions of a laser device implemented in Operating Room (OR) in conjunction to minimally invasive tools. The primary goals of reducing the invasive characters of an operation, and the associated risks of unwanted lateral tissue damage during surgery, are the key objectives of UCMIS protocols
