Lasers in Surgery and Medicine (LSM)

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine is a well-established, highly respected scientific journal that has been published since 1980 with approximately ten issues per year. It is dedicated to advancing knowledge in the applications of laser and energy-based technologies in both surgical and medical contexts. The journal publishes rigorous original research, clinical trials, reviews, and technical reports that explore how lasers interact with biological tissues, improve surgical precision, and enable novel treatments. Its scope includes diagnostic and therapeutic uses of lasers in dermatology, ophthalmology, oncology, otolaryngology, wound healing, and a variety of other medical specialties. Studies often address laser-tissue interaction mechanisms, innovative instrumentation, photobiological and photochemical effects, and outcomes research that helps translate laboratory findings into safe and effective clinical practices. Designed to serve both clinicians and researchers, the journal emphasizes high scientific quality and real-world relevance, making it a core resource for professionals interested in cutting-edge laser research and emerging clinical applications. As the official journal of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, it plays a central role in disseminating peer-reviewed evidence that advances clinical protocols and technological developments in the rapidly evolving field of laser medicine.
