Abstract

The application of laser technology to medicine and surgery has lagged behind industrial, recreational and military development. Acceptance has been slow in neurological surgery until refined technology was developed and skilled investigative surgeons recognized the potential for this new technology when applied with microscopic principles. Creative approaches, applications and remarkably improved results have been achieved. Yet we are probably only in an infantile stage of development of the potential of the myriad of applications of laser energy in Neurosurgery. In this chapter, we will review the currently accepted technology, applications and practical results which have been achieved.
