This study intends to document and evaluate the first compiled experience in the treatment of both cutaneous and deep vascular lesions using the Nd:YAG laser. Thirty-eight patients were treated over a 5-year period from 1979 to 1984 using the Nd:YAG laser with FDA approval. Lesions included capilla

## Abstract This is the first North American report describing the use of the holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) laser to treat patients with superficial bladder carcinoma. Fifteen patients, with a total of 52 recurrent superficial bladder tumors, underwent endoscopic laser photoablation of their lesions. No int
Laser surgery for benign prostatic hypertrophy is a clinical reality and a promising alternative to traditional transurethral electroresection of the prostatic adenoma (TURP). Current methods of laser prostatectomy involve coagulation of prostate tissue using a quartz side-firing fiber that redirect
Whereas the focused COz laser may be used as a cutting instrument in less vascularized tissue with limited trauma to the surrounding tissue, use of the defocused Nd-YAG laser results in homogeneous coagulation with an energydependent depth effect. Thus, residual tumor tissue may be cauterized select
