Holmium Laser Canaliculoplasty

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1996
Thirty canaliculi of 18 patients with complete or nearly complete canalicular obstruction were subjected to laser canaliculoplasty as a substitute for the standard Jones-type bypass conduct. Etiologies for the obstruction included congenital lacrimal system atresia, eyelid trauma, scarring following previous lacrimal surgery, and chronic inflammatory ...

Holmium Laser Resection of the Prostate

Journal of Endourology, 1998
A total of 35 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were treated with the Ho: YAG laser using a new technique termed holmium laser resection of the prostate or HoLRP. The laser energy was applied directly to prostatic tissue exclusively through the use of a standard 550 micron end-firing fiber.

Intrarenal use of the holmium laser

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1997
We investigated the safety, effectiveness, and techniques of the holmium (Ho:YAG) laser intrarenally. Data are presented on 52 patients who were treated with the Ho:YAG laser intrarenally for urinary calculi or neoplasms.The Ho:YAG laser has a wavelength of 2,100 nm, which is delivered in pulsed fashion via a small flexible quartz fiber (365 microns ...

Transmyocardial Revascularization with Holmium Laser

Cardiology, 1998
Sixteen patients with angina refractory to medical therapy who were not considered suitable for standard revascularization underwent transmyocardial revascularization with holmium laser. The average age of the patients was 63.2 ± 10.5 years. All of them had angina class 3 or 4, and 9 (56%) had previously undergone an aortocoronary bypass grafting. Four

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate and holmium laser ablation of the prostate: indications and outcome

Current Opinion in Urology, 2009
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has been proposed as an alternative to transurethral resection of the prostate and to open prostatectomy for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms because of large benign prostatic enlargement. The aim of this review is to critically analyze currently available evidence-based reports regarding ...

Holmium laser prostatectomy: current techniques

Urology, 2002
During the past 7 years, holmium laser prostatectomy has evolved into an enucleation procedure, incorporating the use of established surgical planes. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) uses the excellent incisional and hemostatic properties of the holmium laser wavelength.

Novel endourologic applications for holmium laser

Urology, 2005
The holmium laser is used routinely during endoscopic procedures to treat stones, strictures, and tumors of the urinary tract. We report two successful novel endourologic applications of a holmium laser: division and removal of a synthetic urethral sling mesh in one patient and fragmentation of a tempered stainless steel surgical needle in another.
