If you are someone who is about to receive a laser back surgery, chances are that the type of laser that the performing surgery will be using is a Nd:YAG laser. A Nd:YAG laser is used for many different jobs, including laser back surgery, engraving metal, and military laser rangefinders. The reason it is often the preferred surgical laser is because it is able to cut deeper into the tissue. Doctors also like the fact that the Nd:YAG laser is quick to clot blood during surgery, the faster the blood clots the easier it is for the surgeon to see what they are doing. Other surgeries that frequently use a Nd:YAG laser include oral surgeries, cataract surgeries, biopsies, peripheral iridotomy, and laser hair removal.
