Abstract：
:The advantages of the laser have been extolled in the literature but, in contrast, there is a paucity of information on the hazards involved in its surgical use. Recognition and prevention of risks is a mandatory requirement. The experience by encounter is described with counsel as to the prerequisite of taking precautionary measures prior to and during any operative procedure. Although safety features are incorporated in the equipment by the manufacturer, failure to peruse the operating manual has led to unnecessary errors in application and control. The operator and assisting personnel must be disciplined to concentrate on every use of the laser. Granting professionals surgical laser privileges with minimal training is an error in administration. A safety officer should be designated from the nursing or technician staff who will be responsible for knowing all the federal rules and regulations, setting up equipment, and constantly exercising safety surveillance during a laser surgical procedure.
