A retrospective review of endoscopic procedures using the Nd:YAG laser was carried out for patients treated between October 1985 and March 1989. During this 42-month period 165 procedures were performed on 100 patients. The study encompasses a unique period of time in this center, as it includes the initial application, and finally, the time when its use became routine. Indications for laser surgery included the treatment of tumors, bleeding, benign strictures, arterial occlusions, and hemorrhoids. Nd:YAG laser was found to be effective in the treatment of these lesions. The overall success rate was 81 per cent. Patients who are poor surgical candidates would especially benefit from this therapeutic alternative.
对1985年10月至1989年3月期间接受治疗的患者进行了一项使用钕钇铝石榴石激光的内镜手术回顾性研究。在这42个月期间，对100名患者进行了165次手术。该研究涵盖了本中心一个独特的时间段，因为它包括了最初的应用，以及最终其使用成为常规的时期。激光手术的适应症包括肿瘤治疗、出血、良性狭窄、动脉闭塞和痔疮。发现钕钇铝石榴石激光对这些病变的治疗有效。总体成功率为81%。手术条件较差的患者将特别受益于这种治疗选择。
