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 th 606 $aVeterinary surgery 606 $aLasers in veterinary medicine 615 0$aVeterinary surgery. 615 0$aLasers in veterinary medicine. 676 $a636.089/7 676 $a636.0897 700 $aBerger$b Noel$0513530 701 $aEeg$b Peter H$0513531 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996209778203316 996 $aVeterinary laser surgery$9761292 997 $aUNISA
