Lasers are great for use in some types of surgical procedures. For circumcision, a laser offers no benefit and potential problems. A laser cuts, nothing else. The surgeon can not control the depth of the cut with a laser. As circumcision is concerned, it is important that the surgeon be able to control the depth of a cut to a very fine degree. Too much depth of cut and injury to the urethra or erectile bodies could result. I use a stainless steel scalpel for circumcision.
