One of the known complications of radical cystectomy with urinary diversion is the development of a benign ureteroenteric anastomotic stricture (UES), which can lead to hydronephrosis and renal dysfunction. Holmium:YAG lasers are commonly used for endoscopic management of these UES.

ABSTRACT Objectives Severe recurrent acute tonsillitis (RAT) is commonly treated by removing the palatine tonsils, namely tonsillectomy (TE). Laser TE has been suggested as an alternative to cold steel dissection, although its efficacy and safety for the surgical treatment of RAT remain unclear.

A noncentrosymmetric metal‐chalcogenide structure has been stabilized by two different types of site disorder, as represented by M = Ag versus M = Cu in the graphic. Quaternary metal‐chalcogenides combining rare‐earth cations with late transition metal cations are attracting growing attention for their optical properties, such as for solar energy ...

Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of electro‐pneumatic intracorporeal lithotripsy for the treatment of salivary gland stones. Study Design A prospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with obstructive salivary gland syndrome, where basket‐assisted sialendoscopy alone failed to remove the calculi.

The autofluorescence of urinary stones can be used for stone detection during laser lithotripsy. A system that automatically blocks the treatment laser in the event of incorrect fiber placement was tested in a clinical setting. ABSTRACT For several years, research has been conducted into fluorescence‐controlled laser lithotripsy, with the aim of ...

Ultrashort pulsed laser‐induced modifications in the bulk of multicrystalline ZnS are realized and characterized. Their cross‐sectional morphology and refractive index profiles are found to highly depend on the laser setup parameters. Such parametric insight is crucial for realizing compact subsurface 3D geometries for photonic applications.
