Abstract

Forty‐three patients with big frontobasal meningiomas underwent a microsurgical removal of the tumor. The 1.32μm Nd: YAG‐laser has proved useful in this prospective series particularly with the contactless shrinkage of the tumors and the necrotization of the dural and bony attachments. Tumor shrinkage was achieved by radiating the tumor surface with the Nd: YAG‐loaser. This technique facilitated the microsurgical dissection and reduced the blood loos by half. The Nd: YAG‐laser necrotization of the dural and bony attachments reduced the recurrence rate following grade two resections from 20% to zero. The postoperative quality of life was excellent with a complete rehabilitation in 76% of the patients. The use of the 1.32 μm Nd:YAG‐laser improved significantly the results of microsurgery for frontobasal meningioma.

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
