None. A laser will control bleeding as it cuts, but that is no different from the cautery unit used in every OR.

Now, non-cutting lasers are a different deal--can be very selective, but are not a scalpel.
What is the difference between scalpel and scissors?
Scalpels are precision surgical instruments with a sharp blade designed for making incisions in tissue, typically used in medical procedures. Scissors, on the other hand, are tools with two blades that pivot to cut materials such as fabric, paper, or sometimes tissue in surgical settings. While both are cutting instruments, scalpels focus on precise cuts and incisions, while scissors are more versatile for various cutting tasks.
How many blades of a scalpel?
A scalpel typically has a single blade designed for precise cutting in surgical procedures. However, there are various types of scalpels, and the blades can be replaced or interchanged depending on the specific needs of the surgery. The most common scalpel used in medical settings is the #10, #11, #15, and #20 blades, each serving different purposes. Therefore, while a scalpel is generally one tool, it can accommodate multiple blade types for different applications.
