Nowadays a lot of surgery is done with a "bovie" which is an electrical cauterizing instrument that looks like a pencil and can cut and cauterize tissue with heat. Bovie's are small, disposable and cheap.

This laser thing (from their website) looks like expensive and unwieldly, I don't see an immediate benefit.
