The objectives of the minimally invasive approach are to improve the operative and postoperative comfort of patients and to optimize the results of interventions.

The Er:YAG laser is a microsurgical tool in the service of this concept. Thanks to its novel operating mode, it allows the clinician to perform operations in accordance with all the criteria of a minimally invasive approach.

In this case report Dr. Fabrice Baudot from France, illustrates the microsurgical operative capacities of the Er:YAG laser thereby achieving the objectives of the minimally invasive approach.
