1. A surgical system for performing laser treatment within a treatment space comprising:
a. a surgical mechanical arm comprising a plurality of sequentially coupled independently bendable flexible portions and terminating in a laser tool;
b. a waveguide supplying laser light to said laser tool, where said waveguide follows a contour of said surgical mechanical arm;
c. circuitry configured, during laser treatment using said surgical system, to:
i. monitor curvature by receiving data regarding curvature of one or both of:
said waveguide;
one or more of said plurality of sequentially coupled independently bendable flexible portions;
ii. comparing said received data with at least one threshold, wherein said at least one threshold comprises one or more of: a damage threshold, a leakage threshold, a performance threshold; and
iii. perform at least one action configured to optimize performance of said laser tool based on said received data and on said comparison.
