신경외과질환에서 레저광선 치료 = Laser Surgery in Neurosurgical Diseases

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The laser is a new surgical modality that utilizes high intensity beams of radiant energy to vaporize or coagulate tissue. Radiant energy is generated by stimulated emission of photons, resulting in a unidirectional monochromatic beam that is temporally chorent small diameter beams of great power density are achievable by this means. The author reviewed 12 months experience with a CO2 laser involving neurosurgical operations. 29 neurosurgical lesion, i, e. brain tumor 17 intracerebral hemorrhage 10, cerebral paragonimiasis 1, and arteriovenous malformation 1, were removed with the use of Shaplan, CO2 laser since 1981.
We have conclude that there had been a signficant reduction in blood loss and neurological morbidity though it was readily conceded-that the number of operations were relatively small. The particular advantages of the combination of CO₂laser and microscope were felt to be precision, reduction of mechanical trauma, good hemostasis and low cost. Especially the blood loss and replacement during operation have been reduced.
