    Summary

    This study explored laser irradiation of the bladder wall, finding controlled tissue removal is possible without perforation risk. Endoscopic laser surgery for bladder tumors appears feasible, with no observed hydronephrosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Technology
    • Laser Medicine

    Background:

    • Endoscopic bladder tumor removal is a critical area in urology.
    • Current methods have limitations regarding tissue ablation and perforation risk.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the morphological and histological effects of cystoscopic argon and neodymium-YAG laser irradiation on the bladder wall.
    • To assess the feasibility of endoscopic laser surgery for bladder tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized cystoscopic argon and neodymium-YAG laser irradiation via a flexible quartz fiber light guide.
    • Performed morphological and histological analysis of the bladder wall post-irradiation.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated controllable depth of tissue removal.

  • Confirmed no risk of bladder wall perforation.
  • Observed no hydronephrosis, even with direct irradiation of the orifices.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic bladder tumor surgery using laser radiation is a viable option.
    • The Nath flexible quartz fiber light guide allows for precise tissue ablation.
    • The technique appears safe, minimizing risks of perforation and hydronephrosis.
