Abstract

Incision with surgical blade is being used traditionally in surgery. Surgeons feel cumbersome with skin bleeding while making surgical incisions using scalpel. Even though we are traditionally using scalpel for skin incisions, incisions made using electromagnetic radiation of high frequency in the form of laser are considered to be of more precision value, less time taking, less bleeding, less post-operative pain, no ill effects on wound healing.
