laser surgery

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

laser surgery

Use of intense light sources to cut, coagulate, or vaporize tissue. Less invasive than normal surgery, it destroys diseased tissue gently and allows quicker, more natural healing. It can be used by way of a flexible endoscope to enable the surgeon to view the diseased area at which the laser needs to be aimed.
