Book Synopsis Lasers in Urological Surgery by : Alfons G. Hofstetter
Download or read book Lasers in Urological Surgery written by Alfons G. Hofstetter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of lasers into operative medicine and advances in fiberoptic technology have made a significant contribution to minimally invasive surgery. This book was written to raise awareness of the capabilities and advant ages of lasers in urological surgery and to make this tech nology more widely accessible. The book reflects the cumulative experience of 25 years of laser research and clinical application, starting in 1972 with studies on laser tissue interactions, endoscopic studies with fiberoptic "sutures;' and the first clinical use of lasers in 1975 and 1976. These early efforts were followed by the develop ment oflaser lithotripsy in the early 1980 s and a Lubeck based research program leading to the development of a "smart" laser lithotriptor (Lithognost) in the late 1980s. There have been recent advances in the field of photo dynamic diagnosis based on the use of locally adminis tered photo sensitizers, a development that will redefine the role of the Nd:YAG laser in the treatment of bladder cancer. Perhaps the most interesting concept is the inter stitiallaser therapy of prostatic hyperplasia and, perhaps one day, certain forms of prostatic cancer. We have also developed a technique, first described in 1986, for the laser treatment of schistosomal bladder lesions. I dedicate this book to the many pioneers oflaser medi cine and to all the colleagues and research assistants who accompanied me on this journey. I cannot name them all; their names can be found in more than 300 publications.

Book Synopsis Lithotripsy - by : Mohammad Hammad Ather
Download or read book Lithotripsy - written by Mohammad Hammad Ather and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-03-13 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lithotripsy - Novel Technologies, Innovations and Contemporary Applications provides a comprehensive overview of urolithiasis management. Lithotripsy, the act of stone fragmentation, achieved either extracorporeally (ESWL) or intracorporeally (ISWL), has experienced tremendous progress in the last 40 years. ESWL, using an electrohydraulic energy source, which was introduced in the early 1980s, revolutionized the management of stones for which there were very limited options besides open surgery. Two chapters in this book discuss the history of ESWL and its contemporary applications and indications. The remaining four chapters discuss intracorporeal energy sources for stone fragmentation, including pneumatic, ultrasonic, and laser sources. Whereas pneumatic and ultrasound lithotripsy are the current workhorses of endourologists, particularly in the management of large and medium-sized kidney stones, lasers, on the other hand, are predominantly used for small renal and most ureteral stones. Due to innovations and rapid developments, laser technology is quickly replacing other energy sources for most kidney stones as well.

Book Synopsis Lasers in Urology by : Thomas A. McNicholas
Download or read book Lasers in Urology written by Thomas A. McNicholas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use oflasers in clinical practice is increasing rapidly, both in the definitive treatment of disease and in the palliation of symp toms. Consequently, this sixth contribution to the Bloomsbury Series in Clinical Science is particularly timely. It opens with an introduction to the basic physics of lasers and then focuses on the current use of lasers in urological practice, and concludes by reflecting on their potential for the future. Edited, and with several contributions by Tom McNicholas, the book also contains contributions from a number of workers at the National Medical Laser Centre in University College Hos pital. London. Given their ever widening application, there can be little doubt that lasers will be a subject the series will return to again. To date, the series has been concerned with a wide range of topics of fundamental importance in clinical science. It has now gained momentum and future titles continue to reflect its wide sphere of interest. As Series Editor, I would welcome suggestions from readers of topics and issues that could usefully be addressed in the series.
Book Synopsis Shock Wave Lithotripsy 2 by : James Lingeman
Download or read book Shock Wave Lithotripsy 2 written by James Lingeman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since its development in West Gennany and particularly since its arrival in the United States, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL') has become the treatment of choice for most cases of urinary lithiasis. The fIrst shock wave lithotripsy patient in the U.S. was treated with a Domier HM3 in February of 1984 at the Methodist Hospital of Indiana. In response to the great enthusiasm generated by this new treatment modality, the following year the MHI presented its fIrst symposium on shock wave lithotripsy. Each year the meeting generated more and more interest. Following the 1988 symposium, the presentations were published in a book entitled Shock Wave Lithotripsy: State of the Art. Following on the heels of the success of kidney stone treatment with ESWL, the new field of biliary lithotripsy rapidly was gaining momentum. In response to the great interest generated by this additional application of the technology, the 1989 meeting focused special attention on this new method of treating gallstones. Methodist Hospital's 5th Symposium on Shock Wave Lithotripsy, which was presented in March of 1989, had the largest attendance ever, with over 600 physicians from 42 states and 20 countries. The publication of the proceedings of this meeting was made possible by generous educational grants from Domier Medical Systems, Inc., Marietta, Georgia, and the Methodist Hospital of Indiana. The primary purpose of the publication of the proceedings of this symposium is educational.

Book Synopsis New Technologies in Urology by : Prokar Dasgupta
Download or read book New Technologies in Urology written by Prokar Dasgupta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-13 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology seems to be an integral part of modern living. Urologists have over the years embraced new technological advances for patient beneft. On some occasions, however, the initial enthusiasm in something new has failed to endure rigorous scientifc scrutiny. Thus, while being technological leaders, we urologists know better than most other surgical speci- ties that what is new is not necessarily good. This textbook is aimed at urologists and surgeons at all levels and has contributions from international experts. The topics vary from robotics to lasers to single port laparoscopy. The comprehensive chapters should be of equal interest to uro-oncologists and those involved in treating benign urological diseases. While the contents are meant to bring the reader up to date with technological advances, the authors have attempted to balance their enthusiasm with basic science, translational research, and clinical outcomes. It will be obvious that some of the s- jects mentioned here, such as nanotechnology, are still evolving, and it will be a while before they undergo clinical trials that establish their position in clinical medicine. We hope you enjoy reading this book as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
