“…Later, similar laser operating theaters were established in other research centers in Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev. The author's laser operating unit (Lazarev et ai., 1969;Gamaleya, Lazarev, and Baratov, 1971;Kavetskii and Gamaleya, 1973) consists of three separate sections. The first section contains two pulsed Nd lasers giving radiation with a pulse energy of 1000 J and pulse duration of 2 msec, and a CW CO2 laser with output power of 50 W. The laser radiation is transmitted by a mirror-lens light guide system to the scanning device in the second section, which contains the operating theater proper (Fig.…”

Prototype of a Multipurpose Trilaser Unit in a Teaching Hospital Surgical Department

We describe our experience and the problems we encountered organizing an autonomous surgical unit in which the equipment and organization enable three lasers to be used in may different applications in medicine and surgery. The three lasers--CO2, Nd:YAG, and argon--may now be used by all the departments concerned within our teaching hospital. As our unit goes into operation, we have determined that we must now begin an evaluation 1) To assess the clinical value of laser usage via the careful selection of cases for laser treatment, the storage of data for future reference on card and computer records, and the assessment of the vital role of the laser within a range of modern therapeutic aids; 2) to achieve technical improvements, by the optimum use of laser sources and related optical equipment; and 3) to assess the economics of the unit, the profitability of bringing together the three types of laser, and the total cost involved.
