Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The CO2 laser is the most commonly used laser in arthroscopic surgery. This device offers enhanced precision in both cutting and ablation, as well as improved accessibility of difficult to reach structures. However, the use of energy rather than mechanical devices, the lack of tactile feedback, and the necessary use of a gaseous environment can result in problems not encountered in conventional arthroscopic surgery. This article presents these problems and suggests solutions. |
