Legend:

Film shows initial learning experience with a method of treating of one of the most common male urinary problems – urine flow obstruction. Caralas HPD 150 diode laser from Biolitec, Germany with side firing “Fusion” fiber (EVOLVE system) at 100 w settings was used. The technique shown here uses dedicated Wolf instrument which locks fiber in the instrument. This technique resembles classical TURP procedure. Fiber movement is primarily forward and backward with regular resectoscope mechanism. Training phase can be identified as surgeon’s movements are sometimes too fast and sometimes unnecessary slow.

Source(s) of Funding


Laser and fibers were provided by Mr. Miklos Antal, Biolitec representative in Budapest (Miklos.Antal@biolitec.com).
