Although laser technology continues to evolve, its role in microsurgery is limited to minor adjunctive applications including skin deepithelialization. In the past, continuous-wave carbon dioxide (CO(2)) lasers were the best for performing skin deepithelialization. The newer ultrapulse CO(2) lasers also show promise in this regard. They have become readily available and are very popular for aesthetic skin resurfacing. Their use for skin deepithelialization is an essential part of microsurgical procedures for free flap contouring, flap onlay at the recipient site, and revision of skin grafted free flap donor sites. Complications are essentially nonexistent and competency in using this modality is straightforward for any microsurgeon.
尽管激光技术不断发展，但其在显微外科手术中的作用仅限于一些辅助性的小应用，包括皮肤去上皮化。过去，连续波二氧化碳（CO₂）激光是进行皮肤去上皮化的最佳选择。新型的超脉冲CO₂激光在这方面也显示出前景。它们已 readily available 且在美容性皮肤磨削中非常受欢迎。其用于皮肤去上皮化是游离皮瓣塑形、受区皮瓣覆盖以及游离皮瓣供区植皮修复等显微外科手术的重要组成部分。并发症基本不存在，并且对于任何显微外科医生来说，掌握这种技术都很简单。 （注：“readily available”直译为“容易获得”，这里意译为“已 readily available”更符合语境，你可根据实际情况调整，比如可替换为“已 readily accessible”等更合适表述）
