From the President
Over the past decades, lasers have had a profound effect on medicine and surgery. They have contributed to a large growth in therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to many conditions, across all fields of medicine.
Laser is a rapidly spreading technology, and every specialty of medicine and surgery is now engaged in developing and testing laser applications.
In surgery, lasers have extended what clinical devices can do, and have brought greater comfort to patients and doctors during operations.
