LASER

Laser (acronym - Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation) BACC can boast of a sophisticated laser equipment to perform surgeries.

Laser energy is generated by manipulation of the atomic structure of molecules (carbon dioxide) in a laser tube. This energy is then focused on tissues either to coagulate or vaporize. In coagulation the tissues are desiccated but not removed. In vaporization, as the term implies, tissues are turned into smoke, thereby removing an entire lesion.

In the right hands laser surgery offers the advantage of a bloodless field during surgery, decreased incidence of postoperative complications such as bleeding or infection and quicker healing. Only local anesthesia is used. In gynecology it is used in tubal surgery, endometrioses, for drilling the ovaries in polycstic ovary disease and in preinvasive cancers of the genital tract. It is used in infertility cases in assisted hatching of the egg (link).
