Pulmonology – Surgery
Laser Treatments in Pulmonology
- Dual wavelength diode laser (980nm + 1470nm) allow the simultaneous or sequential coagulation and ablation of endobronchial tumors.
- The diode lasers can also be used to treat stenosis in pulmonology, e.g., by ablating affected tissue in the trachea.
- Fistulas can be efficiently removed with the cutting properties of the 1470nm wavelength in human soft tissue. Hemostasis can be achieved by using the 980nm as the penetration depth is larger.
- Other treatments using diode lasers involve adhesions or wedge excision of lung tissue.
