| Diagnostic Kits - Laser Microsurgery |
|
| Microsurgery is any operation done with the aid of microscopes. Surgeons work with spectacle - mounted magnifiers or with microscopes. Using this technique, surgeons can remove adenoma, tumours of the pituitary gland, without damaging the gland itself. Neurosurgeons, ear and eye surgeons all rely on microsurgery. |
| |
| Laser is used in microsurgeries. The effect of laser on tissues depends upon its wavelength. For e.g., light from carbon dioxide laser is absorbed by water in the target cells and the energy is converted into heat. The energy is thus localised in the target cells. Nuero surgeons use such a laser to remove brain tumours which are otherwise very difficult to operate upon. With laser surgery, only the part or tumour cells will be removed and the surrounding nervous tissue is preserved. In other methods any damage to the adjacent nervous tissue will have dangerous consequences. |
