| Popis: |
patients suffering from sialolithiasis were treated by endoscopically controlled, laser induced lithotripsy (LIL). The non-sedated patients were trea- ted under local anaesthetic with specially develo ed endoscopes with a diameter I 1,8 mm. A laser &er was then positioned on the concrement which was finally fragmented whilst being monitored using a ulsed Excimer laser with a pulse width of 60 ns P FWHM) and a wavelength of 308 nm or a ulsed dye laser wth a ulse width of 1.2 fim (dM) and a wavelength of504 nm. In all cases a complete frag- mentation of the stone was achieved. This approach to laser lithotripsy of salivary stones with endoscopic monitoring represents a novel method that permits out-patient treatment under local anaesthetic with a mimmum inconvenience to the patient. |
