Early experience photoselective vaporisation of the prostate using the 180W lithium triborate and comparison with the 120W lithium triborate laser
PURPOSE There is a paucity of information on the clinical efficacy and safety of the photoselective vaporization (PVP) of the prostate using the 180W lithium triborate (LBO) laser. We report on initial outcomes of PVP with the 180W laser, comparing the first 50 cases with the last 50 cases performed with the 120W LBO laser. METHODS All cases performed by a single surgeon (HHW) have been prosp...
متن کاملPhotoselective vaporization of the prostate with the 120W lithium triborate laser for the treatment of acute urinary retention
PURPOSE Whilst photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, there is little reported about its performance in urinary retention. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GreenLight™ high performance system 120W lithium triborate laser (American Medical Systems, Inc, Minnetonka, MN) PVP in men with urinary retention...
متن کاملPhotoselective Vaporesection of the Prostate with an End-firing Lithium Triborate Crystal Laser
BACKGROUND Photoselective vaporization of the prostate is a technique that is widely used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and has pronounced advantages compared to the traditional transurethral resection of the prostate. Following the recent introduction of end-firing lithium triborate lasers, we have created a new technique called photoselective vaporesection of the pro...
متن کاملLithium Triborate-Laser Vaporisation of the Prostate using the 120W High Performance System (HPS) Greenlight-Laser: High Performance all the Way?
Despite technical refinements of the 120 W lithium-triborate laser fiber degradation and significantly decreased power output are still detectable during the procedure. Laser fibers are not fully appropriate for the high power delivery of the new system. There is still potential for further improvement in the laser performance. Lithium Triborate-Laser Vaporisation of the Prostate using the 120W...
متن کاملDistrontium lithium beryllium triborate, Sr2LiBeB3O8
Single crystals of distrontium lithium beryllium triborate, Sr(2)LiBeB(3)O(8), were obtained by spontaneous nucleation from a high-temperature melt. In the Sr(2)Li[BeB(3)O(8)] structure, [BeB(2)O(7)](6-) rings, made up from one BeO(4) tetra-hedron and two BO(3) triangles, are connected to each other by [BO(3)] triangles to form the smallest repeat unit {[BeB(3)O(8)](8-)} and then form chains al...
