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.

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.

Holmium Laser Applications of the Prostate

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2009
The high-powered holmium laser is an excellent tool for the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. This article discusses the background of holmium use in the prostate and describes the surgical techniques of holmium laser ablation of the prostate and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate.

Room-Temperature Laser Pumped 2-μm Holmium Lasers

CLEO/Europe Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics, 1998
This work aimed at studying the laser action in YbLiF4:Ho, YbLiF4: Ho,Tm and KYb(WO4)2:Tm,Ho crystals under selective pumping with the 1.047 μm Nd:YLF laser. Also we considered the inverse population formation of working levels of the 2-μm transition in holmium ions.

Directly diode-pumped holmium fiber lasers

Optics Letters, 2007
Sensitizer-free holmium-doped silica and fluoride mid-infrared fiber lasers are pumped using a high-power diode laser operating at 1148 nm. A maximum output power of 162 mW at 2.86 microm was produced at a slope efficiency of 24% using Ho(3+), Pr(3+)-doped fluoride fiber.

Holmium laser angioplasty.

Seminars in interventional cardiology : SIIC, 1998
The investigational solid-state, pulsed-wave, mid-infrared (2.1 microns) holmium:YAG laser can be applied for plaque ablation and thrombus dissolution. A multicentre study reports 87% laser success and 94% final procedural success. It has established the safety and efficacy of this laser in ischaemic syndromes and acute myocardial infarction treating ...

Holmium-Laser-Enukleation der Prostata

Uro-News, 2019
Die Holmium-Laser-Enukleation der Prostata wird von den EAU-Guidelines zur operativen Therapie der benignen Prostatahyperplasie als Alternative zur transurethralen Elektroresektion der Prostata empfohlen. Der technische Aufwand und eine vermeintlich flache Lernkurve verhindern allerdings bislang eine flachendeckende Verbreitung der Technik. Zu Unrecht,

Effectiveness of holmium laser-assisted coronary angioplasty. The Holmium Laser Coronary Registry.

The American journal of cardiology, 1994
The efficacy of holmium laser-assisted angioplasty was studied in 365 narrowings in 331 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease. Clinical indications for study were unstable angina pectoris in 140 patients (42%), stable angina in 136 patients (41%), postmyocardial infarction angina in 35 patients (10.5%), silent myocardial ischemia in 11 ...
