Abstract
Ultrashort laser pulses can be used to achieve remarkable precision during surgical ablation. Thus far, the clinical potential of ultrafast laser microsurgery has barely begun to be realized, with clinical adoption limited to ophthalmic applications. One of the technological barriers to the adoption of this technology is the lack of a means to flexibly deliver the laser light to clinical sites in or on the patient. The goal of this talk is to provide an overview on the current state of clinical ultrafast laser surgery development in our lab and describe its potential use in 2 clinical applications.
