LASER SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VAPORIZATION OF PROSTATE AND OTHER TISSUE

摘要

The present invention provides systems, devices, and methods to vaporize prostatic tissue having oxygenated hemoglobin. The systems, devices, and methods include a laser module configured to emit light near an absorption peak of the oxygenated hemoglobin and a delivery catheter that is optically coupled to the laser module and configured to deliver the light from the laser module to the prostatic tissue.
