The neodymium (ND):YAG laser has become popular among urologists during the past 10 years. Laser irradiation can be used for the treatment of superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The ND:YAG laser rays have 3 properties that make them particularly suited to urology: a 4-6 mm depth of penetration, transmissibility via quartz fibers, and non-absorbability by water. 7 men and 4 women, aged 55-77 years (mean 73), underwent ND:YAG laser irradiation of recurrent low-stage tumors as outpatients, under local anesthesia. Catheters were not left in and the patients were discharged about 30 minutes after treatment. In a short follow-up of 2-6 months there were no recurrences; cystoscopic follow-up continues.
在过去10年里，钕（Nd）:钇铝石榴石激光在泌尿外科医生中很受欢迎。激光照射可用于治疗膀胱浅表性移行细胞癌。钕:钇铝石榴石激光束具有3种特性，使其特别适用于泌尿外科：穿透深度为4 - 6毫米、可通过石英纤维传输、不被水吸收。7名男性和4名女性，年龄在55 - 77岁（平均73岁），在局部麻醉下作为门诊病人接受了钕:钇铝石榴石激光对复发性低分期肿瘤的照射。未留置导管，患者在治疗后约30分钟出院。在2 - 6个月的短期随访中无复发；膀胱镜随访仍在继续。
