Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a promising element detection technique
that has been rapidly developed for use in various applications, including the biomedical …

Purpose Hyperspectral imaging is an emerging technology recently introduced in medical
applications inasmuch as it provides a powerful tool for noninvasive tissue characterization …

In laserosteotomy, it is vital to avoid thermal damage of the surrounding tissue, such as
carbonization, since carbonization does not only deteriorate the ablation efficiency but also …

Iatrogenic nerve injuries contribute significantly to postoperative morbidity across various
surgical disciplines and occur in approximately 500,000 cases annually in the US alone …

Laser surgery provides a number of advantages over conventional surgery. However, it
implies large risks for sensitive tissue structures due to its characteristic non-tissue-specific …

Lasers have been proven to be precise tools for bone ablation. Applying no mechanical
stress to the patient, they are potentially very suitable for microsurgery on fragile structures …

This study focuses on tissue differentiation using 'Laser Induced Breakdown
Spectroscopy'(LIBS) by monitoring the plasma plume created during laser surgery …

Bone drilling is a common surgical procedure of knee arthroplasty, craniotomy,
stapedotomy, dental treatment, and laminotomy. Although femtosecond laser processing …

Orthopedic diseases are increasingly becoming a prominent problem threatening human
health. Traditional mechanical osteotomy causes mechanical and thermal damages, which …

Background Intraoperative nerve localization is of great importance in surgery. In certain
procedures, where nerves show visual resemblance to surrounding adipose tissue, this can …
