Laser technologies allow for less invasive procedures, which contributes to faster recovery and less pain after surgery. In addition, their versatility allows them to be used in various fields of surgery. What makes them an important tool in modern medicine?
Adenoma, prostatitis or hyperplasia: what is the difference?
There is often confusion between the definition of prostatitis and prostate adenoma. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, while prostate adenoma is an overgrowth of prostate tissue, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is most common among men over 50 and is usually associated with age-related changes in the body. Hyperplasia leads to a violation of the functions of the prostate gland and complicates the process of urination. These diseases have a different nature and require different approaches to treatment.
HoLEP: effective treatment of BPH
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a proven treatment for BPH. This procedure involves the use of a holmium laser to remove excess prostate tissue that is blocking urination. Studies confirm the advantages of this method compared to traditional treatment approaches, showing excellent results among different categories of patients. HoLEP can be used regardless of prostate size and is effective in retreatment, with a low complication rate and minimal risk of reinterventions.
Features of Quanta System CyberHo holmium lasers
The CyberHo laser provides surgeons with a wide range of settings, providing a high level of control and versatility in treatment. A double pedal, a wide range of impulses and a variety of modes allow you to adjust the procedure according to your needs. Side-fiber holmium laser ablation of the prostate (HoLAP) can be used for small adenomas.
Efficiency and technological advantages of holmium surgical devices
Lasers CyberHo reach up to 152 W and are equipped with innovative Vapor Tunnel, Virtual Basket and Master PULSE technologies for improved retropulsion control. They offer a wide range of energy and frequency up to 100 Hz, ensuring precision and efficiency in surgical procedures. There are three different models of the CyberHo family: CyberHo 60W, CyberHo 100W, CyberHo 150W, which differ in power and frequency. This assortment allows you to choose the most suitable device for specific needs.
Lasers of the CyberHo family (2.1 μm) provide high efficiency and flexibility. They are used for resection, excision, ablation, vaporization, incision, coagulation and hemostasis of soft tissues, as well as for lithotripsy of stones. In addition to urology, these laser systems are used in ENT surgery, gastroenterology, general surgery, arthroscopy and discectomy.
One of the hospitals of the Ivano-Frankivsk region is already using all the advantages of the CyberHo 60 W holmium laser. The Loran company has successfully installed it in the urology department for effective and advanced surgical interventions.
Laser methods in urology are becoming not only a symbol of progress, but also an important step in improving the quality of life of patients. Thanks to their effectiveness and variety of applications, they become a reliable tool for medical professionals in the fight against diseases, ensuring painless and successful treatment results.
