Development of robotic interstitial laser therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia

Development of robotic interstitial laser therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia

Interstitial laser coagulation is a relatively new minimally invasive surgical procedure that utilizes laser for performing thermal treatment of non-cancerous prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia). The main advantage of interstitial laser coagulation over classical treatment methods (s...

The main advantage of interstitial laser coagulation over classical treatment methods (such as open surgery or transurethral resection of the prostate) is safety.
