Abstract
We present the results of experimental and theoretical investigations on the interaction of Nd:YAG laser light with biological tissue in general, and with that of the bladder in particular. A comparison is made of the thermal effects achieved with this laser and those of the argon and CO~2~ types. A therapeutically safe yet effective dosage for the endoscopic treatment of bladder tumours with the Nd:YAG laser is given. The operating techniques are described along with the first clinical results.

The use of the neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser in urology is still in its infancy. To date, the most widely published application of this laser is in the treatment of bladder carcinoma. We have utilized the Nd:YAG laser in 23 treatments for superficial bladder tumors. The laser has both advantages and
## Abstract A report is given on the present status of laser techniques in open as well as transurethral urological surgery. Future aspects of laser technical development and clinical applications are described and discussed.
The LALS series of meetings is intended to provide a platform for the presentation of the latest developments in research areas where lasers are used to investigate biologically relevant molecular and microscopic systems and processes. Traditionally, this meeting is a forum for scientists in the fie
