Abstract
A laser-powered surgical tool comprises an elongate distal end portion suitable for laparoscopic surgery, and contains an extreme distal end portion by which a laser-powered tip is applied to tissue to generate incisions of predetermined but adjustable depth therein. The tissue being incised is held by suction in an optimum position for advancing the incision while, simultaneously, any gases and incidental fluids generated or released by the advancing incision are removed by suction applied immediately around the incision point as the incision proceeds.
