ABSTRACT
In our surgical experience, the use of low-level laser therapy
(LLLT) can decrease complications in several major surgeries such
as neurosurgery, major abdominal surgery (bariatric surgery),
breast reconstruction (TRAM flap) surgical procedures, major burn
surgery, and thoracic-cardiovascular surgery. LLLT can accelerate
tissue repair, facilitating cicatrization and providing an analgesic
effect in post-surgical pain. LLLT can also prevent morbidity, avoid-
ing undesirable outcomes that could be evolving to post-operative
death [1]. Although no single tool or technique is yet available to
address the many complex issues surgeons face in their everyday
practice, this remarkable devicemay be highly beneficial for patients
by mitigating their suffering and quite rewarding for doctors.
