The ND:YAG surgical laser is a safe and effective method for resection of pulmonary nodules using VATS. It may be used as the primary resecting tool or as an adjunct to endoscopic stapling techniques to provide optimal pulmonary tissue preservation, and to avoid injury to the lung from inappropriate stapler applications. Thoracoscopic laser resection is particularly suited for deep lesions and for surface nodules where staplers are inadequate. Laser ablation of bullous disease using thoracoscopy offers a minimally invasive method of treating symptomatic patients with complications from dominant bullae.
钕钇铝石榴石（ND:YAG）手术激光是一种使用电视辅助胸腔镜手术（VATS）切除肺结节的安全有效方法。它可用作主要的切除工具，或作为内镜缝合技术的辅助手段，以实现最佳的肺组织保留，并避免因不适当使用吻合器而对肺造成损伤。胸腔镜激光切除术特别适用于深部病变以及吻合器无法处理的表面结节。使用胸腔镜对大疱性疾病进行激光消融，为治疗有主要大疱并发症的有症状患者提供了一种微创方法。
