Abstract
A system may include a laser configured to output laser light with a wavelength between 600-780 nm, and a radiation delivery device. The radiation delivery device may be configured to output the laser light to a mesh or suture implant so that the mesh or suture implant is exposed to the laser light. The mesh or suture implant is attached to a patient and surrounded at least partially by tissue of the patient. The mesh or suture implant is vaporized by exposure to the laser light while tissue exposed to the laser light is not damaged by the laser light.
