Thulium laser enucleation of prostate versus laparoscopic trans-vesical simple prostatectomy in the treatment of large benign prostatic hyperplasia: head-to-head comparison

Int. braz. j. urol; 48 (2), 2022
ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare thulium laser enucleation of prostate (ThuLEP) versus laparoscopic trans-vesical simple prostatectomy (LSP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Materials and Methods: Data of patients who underwent surgery for "large" BPH (>80mL) at three Instituti...

Endoscopic Holmium Laser harvesting of bladder mucosal graft for substitution urethroplasty

Int. braz. j. urol; 48 (2), 2022
ABSTRACT Introduction: Tissue transfer has been used in urethral reconstruction for decades, and several grafts have been described (1, 2). The ideal graft would have optimal tissue characteristics and lead to minimal morbidity at the donor site. Urethroplasty using bladder mucosa was first described by...

Rev. medica electron; 44 (1), 2022
RESUMEN Introducción: el tratamiento inicial para el cierre angular primario está dirigido a modificar el segmento anterior ocular y a estabilizar la enfermedad. Objetivo: evaluar si existen diferencias entre los pacientes tratados con facoemulsificación o iridotomía periférica láser, en cuanto a m...

Holmium laser ablation of the prostate (HoLAP) with moses technology for the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia

Int. braz. j. urol; 48 (1), 2022
ABSTRACT Purpose: The expansion of technology is leading to a paradigm shift in several urological fields (1, 2). In particular, the adoption of lasers within the surgical treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is considered one of the most relevant innovations (3-5). In this vide...

Las manifestaciones oculares del lupus eritematoso sistémico pueden afectar cualquier estructura del ojo. La formación de catarata y la aparición de la diabetes secundaria asociada con el t...

Irrigación Activada por Láser en Endodoncia

El objetivo de la endodoncia es prevenir o curar la periodontitis apical. Por lo tanto, los microorganismos que han colonizado el sistema de canales radiculares deben ser eliminados para promover la regeneración y cicatrización. Desafortunadamente, la existencia de canales accesorios, anastomosis, istm...

Association of Nd: YAG laser and calcium-phosphate desensitizing pastes on dentin permeability and tubule occlusion

J. appl. oral sci; 29 (), 2021
Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Nd:YAG laser associated with calcium-phosphate desensitizing pastes on dentin permeability and tubule occlusion after erosive/abrasive challenges. Methodology Dentin specimens were exposed to 17% ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) solution for 5 m...
