*Corresponding author for this work

Abstract

An overview is given of a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms of pulsed laser tissue ablation as well as new aspects related to nanosecond laser ablation using moderate and high radiant exposures. Focus is on the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transitions and their modifications arising from the presence of a tissue matrix.
