| Summary: | alternative to conventional Transurethral Resection of the and extend of tissue damage. It was observed that less and light distribution induced by the slow heating and the assures a higher depth of coagulation necrosis in the case of coagulation necrosis. The diffusing tips are capable of coagulation necrosis. Thermal and optical sensors were combinations of power and exposure time were examined. It connected to instruments and personal computers to develop an depths and temperature distribution produced by different during this study were correlated to the cysthoscopic image entire surface of the urethra along the tip length. Both in fast heating. Temperature and light information obtained feasibility of delivering a maximum of 10OW of laser power gained considerable attention as a safe and effective heating and the tip geometry) on the thermal effects of laser influence of the treatment parameters (the rate of tissue inside the prostate. Two types of fiber tips were integrated system for temperature and light measurement interaction with prostatic tissue and the extend of investigated. In vivo studies were performed on canine irradiation time. Laser treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) has necrosis around the urethral lumen while minimizing total producing deep, long and symmetric zones of coagulation Prostate (TURP). The present study tries to find the prostates using side firing fibers to measure the temperature side firing beam are sufficient to produce the same depth of slow heating. In the second part of the study, we tested the surface damage coupled with a longer heat conduction time through diffusing tips, which distribute the light over the uniformly distributing high power laser radiation and vitro and in vivo studies were performed. The coagulation was observed that power densities much lower than those of a |
