In surgery, the era of tissue conservation and advanced engineering ergonomics has arrived. As a surgical tool, lasers will undergo extensive development. The most precise of surgical tools, its ability to focus to spots equal to its wavelength will permit intracellular surgery. A new technology must be mastered by the operator, who must have a solid foundation in laser physics. The small spot size possible with the new laser laryngoscopy coupler introduces one more refinement in the growing trend toward "conservational" surgery of the larynx for both benign and malignant laryngeal disease.
在外科手术领域，组织保留和先进工程人体工程学的时代已经来临。作为一种外科手术工具，激光将得到广泛发展。作为最精确的外科手术工具，其聚焦到与波长相等的光斑的能力将使细胞内手术成为可能。操作人员必须掌握这项新技术，并且必须具备扎实的激光物理学基础。新型激光喉镜耦合器可能实现的小光斑尺寸，为针对良性和恶性喉部疾病的喉部“保守性”手术这一不断发展的趋势又增添了一项改进。
