A laser is an intense beam of light that is focused on an area to cut, seal, or vaporize tissue. At SLREH, our diode laser can be delivered through a small quartz fiber that fits into a videoendoscope for surgery in otherwise inaccessible areas of the body such as the upper respiratory tract.Alternatively, the laser can be used separately from the videoendoscope for external mass removal or other soft tissue surgery. Laser surgery allows for less bleeding, swelling and pain with increased precision at the time of surgery leading to rapid healing times.
