The Neodym-YAG-laser has been used in 15 transcranial and 15 transsphenoidal operations of intra- und suprasellar tumors. The surgical results are reflected by ophthalmological and endocrinological controls. The incidence and nature of surgical complications is also reported. The practical experiences during the surgical procedure as well as the results are indicating, that the Nd-YAG-laser is superior to conventional surgical methods. In addition to a better control of bleeding, laser surgery allows a more radical removal and inactivation of tumor tissue without a higher risk of lesioning the adjacent structures.
钕钇铝石榴石激光已用于15例经颅和15例经蝶鞍手术治疗鞍内和鞍上肿瘤。手术结果通过眼科和内分泌学检查得以体现。还报告了手术并发症的发生率和性质。手术过程中的实践经验以及结果表明，钕钇铝石榴石激光优于传统手术方法。除了能更好地控制出血外，激光手术还能更彻底地切除肿瘤组织并使其失活，而不会增加损伤相邻结构的风险。
