Although still considered an investigational medical device, and therefore restricted to use in clinical trials, the Nd:YAG laser has become increasingly available in the United States. The laser has been successfully used in the treatment of acute and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, and for the palliation or ablation of intestinal tract neoplasms. Ongoing trials are needed to determine the cost-effectiveness and side-effect liability as compared to more conventional medical and surgical therapy.
尽管仍然被视为一种研究性医疗设备，因此仅限于在临床试验中使用，但钕钇铝石榴石激光在美国已越来越容易获得。这种激光已成功用于治疗急慢性胃肠道出血，以及缓解或切除肠道肿瘤。与更传统的医学和外科治疗相比，仍需要进行正在进行的试验来确定其成本效益和副作用情况。
