Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Optics
  • Laser Surgery

Background:

  • Optical fibers are crucial for minimally invasive medical procedures.
  • Fiber tips often fail due to heat accumulation during laser treatment.
  • Minimizing thermal damage is essential for reliable fiber performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an optical feedback sensor to prevent fiber tip damage.
  • To assess the sensor's feasibility in ex vivo kidney tissue ablation.
  • To improve the safety and efficiency of laser-induced tissue ablation.

Main Methods:

  • An optical feedback sensor was designed and integrated into a laser ablation system.
  • Ex vivo porcine kidney tissue was used for experimental testing.
  • Signal thresholds, ablation performance, and light transmission were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • A 3 V signal threshold effectively triggered the feedback sensor, preventing fiber deterioration.
  • Full contact mode rapidly activated the sensor due to heat accumulation.
  • While ablation efficiency decreased by 30% with feedback, long-term light transmission and efficiency were sustained.

Conclusions:

  • The optical feedback sensor is a feasible tool for protecting optical fiber tips during laser ablation.
  • It minimizes debris contamination and delays thermal damage, enhancing safety.
  • The sensor ensures consistent light delivery and ablation efficiency, improving laser treatment outcomes.
