Stereotaxic laser ablation of intracranial lesions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique is described which combines computed tomography-based stereotaxic localization and CO2 laser ablation of certain intracranial lesions with a high degree of accuracy. In 24 patients operated on with this technique, total ablation of the lesion was achieved in 19 and incomplete ablation in the other five. Though not perfect, this method is a new approach to intracranial lesions that promises to be more efficacious as future developments occur.

CT-guided laser probe for ablation of brain tumors
In this study, 22 patients (15-75 years old) were selected and transferred to CT scan for tumor ablation. For ablations, after prep and drep under the local anesthesia and mild sedation in proper position, small incision made and special needle inserted and guided by proper direction to the core of the tumor. Then, laser probe inserted through the needle and laser energy delivered. Although we ...
متن کاملStereotactic laser ablation of high-grade gliomas.
Evolving research has demonstrated that surgical cytoreduction of a high-grade glial neoplasm is an important factor in improving the prognosis of these difficult tumors. Recent advances in intraoperative imaging have spurred the use of stereotactic laser ablation (laser interstitial thermal therapy [LITT]) for intracranial lesions. Among other targets, laser ablation has been used in the focal...

متن کاملStudy of laser ablation using nano-second laser pulses
In this paper, the laser ablation process based on the irradiation of nanosecond pulsed lasers on a copper target surface in the presence of Helium gas is studied. The dynamical behaviors of the generated plasma in the helium gas and evaporated copper at the atmospheric pressure are examined using a laser pulse, laser wavelength of and intensity of 7×1010W/cm2. A one-dimensional thermal model ...
