ureterocele/アルミニウム

OBJECTIVE The use of the holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser to incise a ureterocele in children has been reported. However, its use to puncture ureteroceles in neonates has not. Therefore, we evaluated the effectiveness and safety of ureterocele puncture using a holmium-YAG laser in

Few case series report the use of holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser to decompress ureterocele (UC) in pediatric population, and only two studies compared its outcomes with electrosurgery. This study aims to compare outcomes of Ho:YAG laser transurethral

In a case of severe bilateral hydronephrosis in a female fetus associated with ureterocele at 28 weeks, under local anesthetic, ultrasound-guided neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser was used to perforate the ureterocele and successfully overcome the obstruction. There was no recurrence of

BACKGROUND Endoscopic management of posterior urethral valves and congenital ureteroceles is the current standard to relieve the obstruction. While the most commonly used techniques involve cystoscopic incision with cold knife or electrosurgery, an alternative is to ablate the obstructive tissue
