³Pamukkale Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı, Denizli, Türkiye Laser technologies have been used in neurosurgery practice for more than fifty years. With the improvement of laser technologies over the years, novel devices have been produced and upgraded. These devices have widespread application in the diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgical pathologies. In this article, we aim to review the laser technology and its use in neurosurgical practice. Thus, we give information regarding the history, physics and tissue interactions of the lasers in the first part, and we review the neurosurgical applications of the lasers in the second part. Additionally, we evaluate the relevant clinical studies on laser use in the literature regarding their success and complication rates.
