Technology and equipment advanced rapidly. Over the last ten years veterinarians have been exploring the many potential advantages that various lasers provide their patients. Because laser light energy can be applied directly to target tissue or administered to distant lesions at a remote site through fiberoptic components, laser surgery has become an invaluable and growing veterinary surgical resource. Unlike many medical technologies, the size, reliability, and portability of lasers have improved so rapidly thVeterinary surgeryLasers in veterinary medicineElectronic books.Veterinary surgery.Lasers in veterinary medicine.636.089/7636.0897Berger Noel513530Eeg Peter H513531MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910144843203321Veterinary laser surgery761292UNINA
