A promising approach in laser vitrectomy executed by plasma-mediated removal of vitreous body via a diode-pumped Q-switched Nd:YAG laser

Abstract To examine the applicability of plasma-mediated vitreous body removal, a diode-pumped Q-switched Neodymium:YAG laser was used for a possible application in eye surgery/vitrectomy. On a total of 1500 porcine vitreous bodies, removal rates were evaluated by comparing different LaserVit-tip de...
