The surgical green laser system is intended for surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) through photo-selective vaporization of the prostate (PVP). The GreenLight TM XPS Laser System is intended for the surgical incision/excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis and coagulation of soft tissue. All soft tissue is included, such as skin, cutaneous tissue, subcutaneous tissue, striated and smooth tissue, muscle, cartilage meniscus, mucous membrane, lymph vessels and nodes, organs and glands.
Suggested applications include:
General Surgery: Vaporizing, coagulating, incising, excising, debulking, and ablating of soft tissue as well as in endoscopic (e.g., laparoscopic) or open surgeries.
Gastroenterology: Tissue ablation and hemostasis in the gastrointestinal tract; esophageal neoplastic obstructions, including squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma; gastrointestinal hemostasis (including varices, esophagitis, esophageal ulcer, Mallory-Weiss tear, gastric ulcer, angiodysplasia, stomal ulcers, non-bleeding ulcers, gastric erosions); gastrointestinal tissue ablation (benign and malignant neoplasm, angiodysplasia, polyps, ulcer, colitis, hemorrhoids).
Gynecology: Vaporizing, incising, or coagulating tissue associated with treatments of conditions such as: endometriosis; cervical, vulvar, and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia; condyloma acuminata; uterine septum; intrauterine adhesions; submucosal fibroids.
Head and Neck/Otorhinolaryngology (ENT): Tissue incision, excision, ablation, and vessel hemostasis.
Neurosurgery: Incising, excising, coagulating, and vaporizing neurological tumors of the firm textured type.
Ophthalmology: Post-vitrectomy endophotocoagulation of the retina.
Plastic Surgery: Vaporizing, coagulating, incising, excising, debulking, and ablating of soft tissue in endoscopic and open procedures.
Spinal Surgery: Percutaneous lumbar diskectomy.
Thoracic Surgery: Vaporizing, coagulating, incising, excising, debulking, and ablating of soft tissue, including lung tissue in thoroscopic or open procedures.
Urology: Cutting, coagulating, or vaporizing urologic soft tissues. Open endoscopic minimally invasive urological surgery (ablation, vaporization, incision, excision and coagulation of soft tissue) including treatment of: bladder, urethral & ureteral tumors; condylomas; lesions of external genitalia; urethral & penile; hemangioma; urethral strictures; bladder neck obstructions; and vaporization of prostate tissue for men suffering from benign prostate hyperplasia/hypoplasia (BPH).
Contraindications:
Patients who are suspected of having prostate cancer or patients who are not suitable for laser surgery and critically ill patients in other departments. Including the following but not limited to:
• The patient's medical history contraindicates anesthesia
• Places where tissues (especially tumors) are calcified
• For hemostasis of blood vessels over 2 mm in diameter
• Out of control bleeding disorders and coagulopathy
• A
