By using the double frequency YAG to make the initial bore and the Nd:YAG laser to complete the perforation, the technique should be able to effectively combine most of the advantages of both lasers whilst avoiding their disadvantages. It is possibly the ideal iridotomy technique to use in the Asian
The traditional surgical therapy for BPH is a transurethral resection of the prostate (McConnell et al, 1994). This surgery involves the insertion of a telescope (resectoscope) transurethrally into the prostate and bladder. An electrocautery loop attached to the resectoscope is then used to core out
