Application of laser therapy in prostate lithotripsy
The ThuLight fiber laser treatment system utilizes a preferred 1940nm wavelength and advanced pulse train technology to combine lithotripsy with soft tissue vaporization, cutting, and coagulation. A dual-pedal operation allows for flexible switching between different operating modes, supporting a variety of surgical approaches and suiting surgeons of varying skill levels and experience.
This device combines hard and soft components to achieve in situ, contact, and pulverized lithotripsy. Equipped with a thinner, more flexible optical fiber, each laser is easy to operate. For soft tissue cutting, it offers precise cutting, rapid operation, umbrella-shaped hemostasis, intact pathology, and rapid recovery.
Laser energy is transmitted through water. The 1940nm wavelength is at the peak of the water absorption coefficient, twice that of solid-state thulium lasers and four times that of holmium lasers. Laser energy is more readily absorbed by water, resulting in faster soft tissue vaporization and cutting or lithotripsy.
Key Advantages of Laser Lithotripsy
- Minimally Invasive Laser lithotripsy requires only small access points, significantly reducing trauma compared with open surgery. This means less bleeding, smaller incisions, and faster recovery.
- High Precision and Effectiveness The laser beam allows the surgeon to target stones with great accuracy, breaking them down into tiny particles without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
- Reduced Pain and Discomfort Patients usually experience far less pain during and after the procedure compared with conventional methods.
- Lower Risk of Complications Since there is minimal bleeding and tissue damage, the chances of infection or other post-surgical complications are greatly reduced.
- Faster Recovery Time Most patients recover quickly, allowing them to return to normal daily activities sooner than with traditional surgery.
- Safe for Recurrent Cases Laser treatment can be safely repeated if stones form again, offering a reliable long-term management option.
