Laser resection of lung parenchyma--a new technical and clinical approach.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The introduction of a new 1318 nm wavelength Nd:YAG laser has created new possibilities in lung parenchyma surgery. The potentially curative surgical resection of pulmonary metastases in suitably selected cases had been recognized slowly. Using the new laser technology a greater number of patients can now offered salvage surgery. This paper reviews the history of surgical management of pulmonary metastases, development of new laser technology, conventional and extended indications for pulmonary metastasectomy and use of laser in thoracic surgery.

Airtightness of lung parenchyma without a closing suture after atypical resection using the Nd:YAG Laser LIMAX 120.
OBJECTIVES Lung metastases can be non-anatomically resected with a Nd:YAG Laser. It is recommended that the resected lung surface be sealed by slowly resorbable sutures. However, the lung tissue may be restricted by the sutures once it is re-ventilated. Thus, it was analysed whether the lung parenchyma is airtight after laser resection without suturing the defect. METHODS The pulmonary artery...

متن کاملChanges in Blood Gases and Hemodynamic Parameters in Patients Undergoing Lung Resection Surgery and Its Clinical Implications
Introduction: Lung resection surgery is a challenge to thoracic surgeons. Outcome of surgery depends on patients’ tolerance to reduced lung volume and hemodynamic alterations. The present study aimed to investigate the changes in blood gases and hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing lung resection surgery and the associated clinical implications. Materials and methods: This study includ...
متن کاملLaser resection technique and results of multiple lung metastasectomies using a new 1,318 nm Nd:YAG laser system.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Advantages of a new 1,318 nm Nd:YAG laser based on multiple lung metastasectomies are shown. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-three percent of 328 patients with metastases (8/patient, range 1-124) had precision laser resections (lobectomy-rate reduced to 7%); this laser delivers 20 kW/cm(2) 1,318 nm power densities with 400 microm fibers, and a focussing han...
متن کاملLaser Segmental Resection for Pulmonary Tumors
The laser plays a significant role in the lung parenchyma sparing resection for pulmonary neoplasms. The high performance Nd: YAG laser system emitting the 1318 nm wavelength exclusively up to a power of 120 W was used, consisting of the thin flexible quartz fibres (400 μm) with low water content and a four lens focusing handpiece. The Nd:YAG 1318 nm wavelength laser system enables thoracic sur...
