In one operation more than 500 neurofibromas can be removed with an Erbium: YAG laser (2940 nm). The tumors are dissected by shooting holes into the skin and vaporising the neurofibromas in-between or underneath. Specimen are harvested after Er: YAG-, CO2 - and electrosurgical treatment to evaluate the difference of thermal necrosis histologically and photographs are taken to assess the cosmetic results.
