Er:YAG laser ablation of tissue: Effect of pulse duration and tissue type on thermal damage
Abstract
The thermal damage caused by 2.94‐μm Er:YAG laser ablation of skin, cornea, aorta, and bone was quantified. The zone of residual thermal damage produced by normal‐spiking‐mode pulses (pulse duration ≈ 200 μs) and Q‐switched pulses (pulse duration ≈ 90 ns) was compared. Normal‐spiking‐mode pulses typically leave 10–50 μm of collagen damage at the smooth wall of the incisions; however, at the highest fluences (≈ 80 J/cm 2) tears were produced in cornea and aorta and as much as 100 μm of damaged collagen is found at the incision edge. Q‐switched pulses caused less thermal damage, typically 5–10 μm of damage in all tissues.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
