The characteristics of CO2 lasers that render them interesting for surgical applications are reviewed. An instrument consisting of an integrated CO2 laser and beam manipulator, designed specifically for surgical research work, is descirbed. Operational characteristics of the instrument relevant to such work are reported. An accessory for endoscopic surgery is described and instrumentation for microsurgery is discussed. Surgical researches now in progress with this instrument are mentioned.read more

Use of the Carbon Dioxide Laser for Tracheobronchial Lesions in Children
TL;DR: The carbon dioxide laser delivered through a rigid bronchoscope is a suitable tool for managing nonvascular endotracheal and endobronchial lesions in the pediatric population and offers a safe, effective alternative to other lasers and open resection.

Rapid endoscopic control of bleeding gastric erosions by laser radiation.
Robert L. Goodale,Akira Okada,Ricardo Gonzales,John W. Borner,Richard F. Edlich,Owen H. Wangensteen +5 more
TL;DR: In seven dogs, anesthetized and heparinized, bleeding ulcers caused by hot acid jets stopped after five seconds of laser radiation, and the rapid production of hemostasis leads to consideration of the CO2laser in certain poor-risk patients who have massive bleeding from gastric erosions.
