The device comprises of a hollow undermining shaft with specially designed tip that can safely separate tissue planes and lyse fibrous tissue. Laser light can be delivered down the shaft to heat and cause tissue contraction. Device can also include a temperature sensor that can be used to control laser power. Optionally the device can also use ultrasound or electrosurgical energy to improve tissue lysing.
