title: Laser incisional surgery.
abstract: Soft tissue surgery is more efficient, and sometimes more effective, using laser incisional surgery as opposed to standard techniques. The modern generation of lasers produces soft tissue incisions with a minimum amount of thermal damage at wound edges. The transition to laser incisional surgery requires a knowledge of methods, maneuvers, and safety information.
