title: [Laser microsurgery of brain tumors].
abstract: The authors report on a fundamentally new laser method of removal of brain tumors. The operation was carried out with a Soviet-produced surgical laser Sayany-MT (power of 60 W) interlocked with an operating microscope. Eighty-five operations were conducted by means of laser techniques. The use of the surgical carbon dioxide laser in neurooncology makes it possible to improve the conditions for performing the neurosurgical intervention and insures its radical character and a less injurious effect.
