Although laser energy in combination with conventional techniques has been used to ablate prostatic tissue in the dog, the use of the Nd:YAG laser alone to perform transurethral prostatectomies has not been feasible because of the difficulty of directing the laser energy into the prostate. In this study, a 600-microns quartz laser fiber with an attached gold-plated metal alloy reflector and a 1.06-microns Nd:YAG laser were used to perform transurethral laser prostatectomies in 10 mongrel dogs. Each dog received approximately 3600 J to each quadrant of the prostate. No signs of urinary incontinence were noted in any of the dogs postoperatively. Transurethral laser prostatectomies can be performed safely and effectively in the dog and can significantly decrease the incidence of postoperative urinary incontinence.
尽管激光能量与传统技术相结合已被用于切除犬的前列腺组织，但由于难以将激光能量导入前列腺，单独使用钕钇铝石榴石（Nd:YAG）激光进行经尿道前列腺切除术一直不可行。在本研究中，使用一根连接有镀金金属合金反射器的600微米石英激光光纤和一台波长为1.06微米的Nd:YAG激光，对10只杂种犬进行经尿道激光前列腺切除术。每只犬的前列腺每个象限接受约3600焦耳的能量。术后所有犬均未出现尿失禁迹象。经尿道激光前列腺切除术在犬身上可以安全有效地进行，并且可以显著降低术后尿失禁的发生率。
