## 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 C

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.
## BACKGROUND. The objective of the current pilot project was to assess the efficacy of laser scanning cytometry (LSC) for DNA ploidy analysis of atypical urologic cytology specimens to enhance the distinction between benign and malignant changes. ## METHODS. Forty selected urologic cytology sp
Background: Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and therapy (PDT) are treatment modalities that are based on the administration of a photosensitizer and the following application of light in a wavelength range matching the absorption spectrum of the photosensitizer. In this paper we reviewed the history of
