A three-fold approach to the status of laser neurosurgery was taken: 1) Questionnaire to Program Directors for neurosurgery training in the United States and Canada; 2) an analysis of titles in the preliminary neurosurgery program of the Fifth International Congress of Neurosurgery; 3) A literature survey covering the last 3 years of publication. The results showed increasing interest in the use of lasers in neurosurgery, especially for neoplasms in brain and spinal canal. The CO2 laser still dominates the field but Neodymium YAG is also finding wide use. The author comments on directions that laser neurosurgery may take in the future. Special emphasis is made on new applications combining advanced technologies, including CAT scanning, ultrasonography, stereotaxic techniques, and computer control.
1）向美国和加拿大神经外科培训项目主任发放调查问卷；2）对第五届国际神经外科学会初步神经外科项目中的标题进行分析；3）对过去三年发表的文献进行调查。结果显示，人们对在神经外科中使用激光的兴趣日益增加，尤其是用于治疗脑和椎管内的肿瘤。二氧化碳激光仍在该领域占据主导地位，但钕钇铝石榴石激光也得到了广泛应用。作者对激光神经外科未来可能的发展方向进行了评论。特别强调了结合先进技术的新应用，包括计算机断层扫描、超声检查、立体定向技术和计算机控制。
