Abstract
We investigated the risk of intense flashback during in laser endoscopy. Two well-characterized models of reflections and the tissues are used to document flashback levels on fiberoptic endoscopes during Nd-YAG laser irradiation. In the safety viewpoint, filter attachment to endoscopic eyepiece is nesserary for adequate protection from flashback hazard.
