A multicenter, prospective trial was initiated to test the effectiveness and safety of the Nd:YAG laser equipped with artificial sapphire contact tips for the laparoscopic treatment of pelvic pain. Ninety-three women were enrolled in the study, 37 wi

Nd:YAG laser systems, coupled to silica fibers, have shown great benefits as surgical tools. Using the laser system with a bare silica fiber, laser surgeons can photocoagulate tissue to depths of 4 to 5 mm in a non-contact mode. In a contact mode, in

We reviewed the literature addressing the use and complications associated with low-viscosity distention fluids in urologic and hysteroscopic procedures. The possible causes of fluid complications included elevated intrauterine pressure, myometrial i

We attempted to quantify the amount of thermal damage that was created to surrounding tissues when an incision was made with the superpulse neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser with the optical fiber in contact. Light micrographic studies

The use of a fiber optic cable in contact with tissue results in a complex thermal interaction between the cable and the tissue. The effect of the laser-tissue interaction was investigated using sculptured quartz fiber optic cables, sapphire contact
