​This multidisciplinary book introduces all the known and unknown facts, tips, and tricks of laser procedures in various anorectal disorders including haemorrhoids, fistula in ano, anal fissure, pilonidal sinus, etc. It describes minimally invasive procedures, provides authoritative, in-depth presentations of all perspectives of this latest technique. Each chapter includes surgical anatomy, clinical evaluation, and the principle behind hybrid procedures, complications, and solutions that may arise while using Lasers. The book also discusses case presentations in various scenarios and a brief comparison of laser techniques with conventional procedures. It includes an up-to-date scientific and clinical data for quick reference. It emphasizes on “What to do, How to do and What not to do.” This is a must-read book for all trainees and surgeons practicing anorectal disorders, providing an overview of the latest treatment options. This book empowers surgeons with in-depth knowledge and enhance their skills to manage common anorectal diseases. It will serve as a valuable guide for residents, clinicians, surgeons, researchers, and proctologists keen to use lasers as a futuristic approach to deal with anorectal disorders

This Research Topic is in collaboration with Colorectal Disease Centre . Over the past few years, there have been several advancements in proctology and colorectal surgery. Consequently, the need to have a tailored treatment for each patient emerged. This revolution involved both benign (haemorrhoidal disease, anal and pilonidal fistula, diverticulitis, fecal incontinence, inflammatory bowel diseases) and malignant (colorectal cancer) disorders. In addition, translational research and targeted therapies have improved the outcome and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer. In the present Research Topic, we are encouraging experienced colleagues to submit original research articles, case studies, and review articles regarding the main points of debate of proctology and colorectal cancer.

Lasers have a wide and growing range of applications in medicine. Lasers for Medical Applications summarises the wealth of recent research on the principles, technologies and application of lasers in diagnostics, therapy and surgery.Part one gives an overview of the use of lasers in medicine, key principles of lasers and radiation interactions with tissue. To understand the wide diversity and therefore the large possible choice of these devices for a specific diagnosis or treatment, the respective types of the laser (solid state, gas, dye, and semiconductor) are reviewed in part two. Part three describes diagnostic laser methods, for example optical coherence tomography, spectroscopy, optical biopsy, and time-resolved fluorescence polarization spectroscopy. Those methods help doctors to refine the scope of involvement of the particular body part or, for example, to specify the extent of a tumor. Part four concentrates on the therapeutic applications of laser radiation in particular branches of medicine, including ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology, urology, gynecology, otorhinolaryngology (ORL), neurology, dentistry, orthopaedic surgery and cancer therapy, as well as laser coatings of implants. The final chapter includes the safety precautions with which the staff working with laser instruments must be familiar.With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, this important book summarizes international achievements in the field of laser applications in medicine in the past 50 years. It provides a valuable contribution to laser medicine by outstanding experts in medicine and engineering. - Describes the interaction of laser light with tissue - Reviews every type of laser used in medicine: solid state, gas, dye and semiconductor - Describes the use of lasers for diagnostics
