During the 18 months following the introduction of a neodymium yttrium aluminium garnet laser in Newcastle upon Tyne 48 patients were treated, 23 for haemorrhage from peptic ulcers or vascular anomalies of the gut and 25 for palliation of inoperable tumours of the oesophagus, stomach and rectum. The treatment was tolerated well and was effective both for the arrest of haemorrhage and relief of dysphagia. Laser treatment has now entered the realms of routine clinical practice but its high cost and the operator expertise required suggest that its availability should be limited to designated centres.
在泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔引入钕钇铝石榴石激光后的18个月里，对48例患者进行了治疗，其中23例因消化性溃疡出血或肠道血管异常接受治疗，25例因缓解无法手术的食管、胃和直肠肿瘤症状接受治疗。该治疗耐受性良好，对止血和缓解吞咽困难均有效。激光治疗现已进入常规临床实践领域，但因其成本高昂且需要操作人员具备专业技能，故建议其应用应限于指定中心。
