| Summary: | Introduction. The development trend of modern medicine is minimal invasiveness while maintaining sufficient radicality . This is aided by a great deal of new knowledge, revolutionary technical achievements and work approaches. Examples of this are numerous - an excimer laser for myopia, radio frequency thermoablation in the treatment of liver metastases, the use of a harmonic scalpel in endoscopic or open surgery. These are all examples where minimum damage is incurred on the "way" to a treating an organ with the same radicalism as with traditional surgery. The ultrasonic knife and radiofrequency thermotherapy have entered medicine in a multidisciplinary way, which, however, remains incomparable with the expansit of the phenomenon called laser. Lasers bring together a group of devices with very diverse characteristics, enabling applications in many fields of medicine. Wavelength defined by an active medium, coherence, collimation and monochromaticity predisposes lasers to a single technically unique selective influence of various tissues with their great energy. This enables a device belonging to a group of lasers to crush kidney stones, as well as evaporate a cornea or cut enamel. Objectives of the work. Our objective was to determine the benefits of laser medicine to minimize invasiveness in...
