About the Book

This book is aimed at those neurosurgeons who have heard of lasers from their colleagues who use them and wish guidance and evaluation. There are also laser physicists and manufacturers who wish to understand how the lasers they design are used in neurosurgical practice, so that they may improve on their designs in the future. There are those scientists and physicists concerned with overseeing safety who might find information on the neurosurgical techniques involved helpful in their safety protocols. There are those who are valuable members of neurosurgical teams, such as theatre technicians and nursing staff, who whilst seeing the lasers used also would like to have a wider horizon of the subject. To all these is the book addressed. The aims are to provide some assessment and evaluation of the lasers in neurosurgical operative practice. To this end some of the many uses of lasers have been selected and discussed in a variety of ways by the list of international authors. The book is not intended to be a comprehensive textbook of operative laser neurosurgery and this is why a sample selection of pathological processes and techniques has been chosen, rather than a fully comprehensive list of every known use of lasers within neurosurgery. The contributors approach the subject in their own individual way in order to enable people to gain some idea of the various ways lasers can be used.
