[Tissue effect of Greenlight(®) laser on uterine fibroids]
Objective:
We evaluated the efficacy and the safety parameters for Greenlight(®) laser to vaporise myoma.
Materials And Methods:
We studied 6 utero after hysterectomies for myoma and used the Greenlight(®) laser with different level of power and duration on myoma and normal myometer. We compared the tissue effect with the monopolar and bipolar resection. We studied the tissue effect by histological exam.
Results:
The Greenlight(®) laser is able to vaporize myoma with a low side effect on normal myometer of 85μm (199μm with bipolar and 254μm with monopolar).
Conclusion:
The laser Greenlight(®) is efficient to vaporize myoma in vitro and presents some safety parameter. This study could lead to a clinical prospective study to demonstrate its ability to treat symptomatic myoma.
