A new method for enhanced ablation by pulsed laser radiation has been demonstrated. The method utilizes an "impulse" ablation laser in conjunction with cyclical heating of the tissue by an auxiliary source: the "primer." In this study we use an auxiliary laser as the "primer" heat source, which sets

โฆ Synopsis
Background and Objective: Two separate cases involving laser ablation of hair follicles in the neourethra are described. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Urethral hair developed secondarily to free-flap urethroplasty for congenital urethral defects. In both cases, cystoscopic depilation with electrocautery fulguration was attempted on multiple occasions. Results: No improvement was seen; therefore, laser ablation was employed. Both patients remain free of regrowth at greater than one year of follow-up.

Laser ablation of a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film with an excimer laser beam, 248 nm, was analyzed by various analysis methods, and the mechanism was studied. The ablation was carried out in an argon gas atmosphere at room temperature. Produced gases and some fragments were collected and a

Background and Objective: Urethral hemangiomas are rare. They vary in size from pinpoint masses to extensive honeycomb-shape deformities leading to significant hematuria. For extensive lesions, therapeutic options have included extensive surgical resection and reconstruction or multistaged ne0dymium
