Alternative Treatment of Osteoma Using an Endoscopic Holmium-YAG Laser
Osteoma is one of the most common tumors of the cranial vault and the facial skeleton. For osteoma in the facial region, endoscopic resection is widely used to prevent surgical scarring. Tumors in a total of 14 patients were resected using an endoscopic holmium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Ho:YAG) laser with a long flexible fiber. Aside from having the advantage of not leaving a scar due to ...

متن کاملPerformance and safety of holmium: YAG laser optical fibers.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Lower-pole ureteronephroscopy requires transmission of holmium:YAG energy along a deflected fiber. Current ureteroscopes are capable of high degrees of deflection, which may stress laser fibers beyond safe limits during lower-pole use. We hypothesized that optical fiber and safety measures differ among manufacturers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Small (200-273-microm) and medi...
