laseroperatsioone

Laseroperatsioone, often referred to as laser surgery, is a medical procedure that utilizes focused beams of light (lasers) to perform various surgical tasks. Lasers offer a high degree of precision, allowing surgeons to target specific tissues with minimal damage to surrounding areas. This can lead to reduced bleeding, less pain, and faster recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods.

The application of laseroperatsioone spans numerous medical specialties. In ophthalmology, lasers are used for vision correction procedures like LASIK and PRK to reshape the cornea. Dermatology employs lasers to remove skin lesions, tattoos, and treat conditions such as acne scars and rosacea. In dentistry, lasers can be used for cavity preparation, gum surgery, and teeth whitening. General surgery also utilizes lasers for procedures like tumor removal and the treatment of varicose veins.

The specific type of laser used depends on the intended application and the tissue being treated. Different wavelengths of light have varying absorption properties in different tissues, influencing the laser's effect. For example, some lasers are designed to cut tissue, while others are used to coagulate blood vessels or vaporize unwanted cells. While generally safe when performed by trained professionals, potential risks can include burns, scarring, and unintended tissue damage, though these are minimized with proper technique and patient selection.
