The real future of surgical lasers, and indeed of surgery itself, will depend on the integration of the surgeon into a system incorporating real-time tissue sensors, computer-directed robotic manipulation, and laser-tissue interactions that are customized to the clinical task. The human surgeon will operate as the central judgmental element in this mechanized and semiautomated laser surgical system. Only then will we really be able to make use of the subtle and varied laser-tissue effects now being discovered.
手术激光乃至外科手术本身的真正未来，将取决于外科医生能否融入一个整合了实时组织传感器、计算机控制的机器人操作以及针对临床任务定制的激光与组织相互作用的系统。人类外科医生将作为这个机械化和半自动化激光手术系统中的核心判断要素。只有到那时，我们才能真正利用目前正在发现的微妙且多样的激光与组织的效应。
