Pulsed dye laser lithotripsy for ureteric calculi.
Laser has proven to be an effective and safe method of treating ureteral stones. When the electromagnetic energy of a laser pulse is selectively absorbed by stone, a plasma fonns at the surface. This plasma, which is composed of ions and electrons, continues to absorb laser energy reaching very high pressure and generating a shock wave that fragment the stone. The degree of stone fragmentation ...
متن کاملPulsed dye laser lithotripsy of bile duct stones.
Efficacy and safety of pulsed dye laser lithotripsy was tested in 25 consecutive patients in whom bile duct stones could not be extracted after endoscopic sphincterotomy. The patients had one to six (mean, 1.8) bile duct stones (diameter, 10-35 mm; mean, 18 mm) located in the common bile duct (18 cases), the intrahepatic bile ducts (6 cases), or in a long cystic duct stump (1 case). Different a...
متن کاملTRANS URETERAL LITHOTRIPSY
From Sep. 1984 to Aug. 1990,99 patients were treated for ureteral stone using the urekroscope. In five patients ureteroscopy was repeated for a second stone. In one patient the procedure was diagnostic in nature and in the rest of the patients it had a curative value. In 60 patients the stone was removed by electrohydraulic and basket combination and in25 cases, dilatation alone was enough...
متن کاملUreteral stricture formation after removal of proximal ureteral stone: retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy versus ureteroscopy with holmium: YAG laser lithotripsy
OBJECTIVE To compare the risk of postoperative ureteral stricture formation following retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy (RPLU) and ureteroscopy with holmium: YAG laser lithotripsy (URSL) in patients with proximal ureteral stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent RPLU or URSL for proximal ureteral stones between April 2...
متن کاملPulsed dye laser therapy for rosacea.
Rosacea is a chronic and progressive inflammatory skin disorder affecting the facial convexities for which no curative measure is currently available. Forty consecutive patients with rosacea were treated with the Cynosure PhotoGenica V pulsed dye laser. The improvement following laser therapy was assessed according to a sliding scale: 1 (worse after treatment), 2 (no improvement), 3 (slight imp...
