gum surgery versus laser

I have been diagnosed with advanced periodontitis on two quads and
need flap surgery however i read laser is an option--i was wondering
if the laser would kill the bacteria where deep cleaning and root
planing could not get to (had that done versus the surgery two years
ago) some say that was option A but to me there is no option except
surgery after two years of researching and hearing what second,
third, fourth perios have to say--i think i still need surgery so any
thoughts or responses would be appreciated before heading for the
scalpel YIKES!!! ( i am definitely dentistphopia) due to childhood
experience three front teeth with NO ANESTHESIA OR NOVaCAINE
