Urological surgery is rapidly evolving, and modern laser technologies play a key role in this transformation. How is advanced equipment reshaping patient care, enhancing surgical precision, and enabling faster recovery?
Urologist Mykola Khodakivskyi from the Korosten Central City Hospital shares his experience using the Fiber Dust thulium laser (Quanta System, Italy), which he has incorporated into clinical practice for over a year.
Combined surgery: a unique clinical case
In a video on our YouTube channel, the doctor demonstrates the effectiveness of the thulium laser through a combined surgical intervention: cystolithotripsy for multiple bladder stones and laser resection of the prostate.
This procedure was made possible due to the unique features of the FiberDust laser — precision, control, and minimal retropulsion. As a result, the combination of diagnostics and treatment has become even more effective and safer for the patient.
Over 550 endoscopic procedures performed
Since adopting the Fiber Dust thulium laser, Dr. Khodakivskyi’s team has performed over 550 successful surgeries. Around 90% of them were lithotripsies of various complexity: cystolitho-, ureterolitho-, and pyelolithotripsy, as well as surgeries on the prostate and urethra. These numbers confirm the high efficiency and versatility of the thulium laser in urological practice.
Fiber Dust: a game-changing technology
The FiberDust thulium fiber laser (TFL) represents a new generation of laser energy in urology. It offers:
- high precision in tissue dissection,
- effective stone fragmentation with minimal retropulsion,
- operation in both pulsed and continuous modes,
- intelligent parameter adjustment based on the type of procedure.
Its 1.9 µm wavelength matches the water absorption peak, allowing efficient action on both stones and soft tissues while reducing the risk of deep damage.
Fiber Dust features a compact size and ergonomic design. The unit easily integrates into an OR setting and requires no special power supply — a standard socket is sufficient.
Precise visualization with the LORAN 4-in-1 Full HD system
Procedures are performed using the LORAN 4-in-1 endoscopic Full HD video system, which provides clear visualization during manipulations. Image quality is critical during endoscopic surgery, and the LORAN technology ensures high detail even in challenging conditions.
