Microprocessor-controlled scanning micromanipulator for carbon dioxide laser surgery. Technical note.
A microprocessor-controlled scanning device for use in carbon dioxide laser surgery is described. This device increases the speed of dissection, allows the surgeon to keep both hands in the operative field, and thereby decreases the fatigue associated with manual control of the micromanipulator used in a surgical laser system.
