ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: The objective of this article is to quote under the form of a document the opinions expressed by the participants of the round table "Lasers in Urology Today" (january 2006). The material and method used is the compilation of critical and updated notions on the usefulness of lasers in urology, supplemented by bibliographic references, a limited iconography. The results achieved by lasers today enable us to state that: Holmium laser is the choice treatment for in situ lithotripsy; however, it has not significantly improved previous results when treating urologic tumours and stenoses. Nowadays we have two types of lasers: KTP and HoL, which obtain results similar to surgery regarding BPH, but with reduced morbidity. The usefulness of laser in laparoscopic surgery is still under development. CONCLUSION: Lasers in Urology Today play an active role in in situ lithotripsy (HoL), and a competitive one in BPH surgery (KTP and HoL). Regarding the rest of indications, i.e. tumours, stenoses, laparoscopic surgery, etc., further studies and enough follow-up times are still needed.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este artículo, es reproducir en forma de texto las opiniones vertidas por los componentes de laMesa Redonda "Lásers en Urología Hoy", durante su celebración (enero 2006). El material y método empleados ha sido la recopilación de los conceptos críticos y actuales sobre la utilidad de los lásers en urología, acompañados de bibliografía/iconografía limitada y seleccionada. Los resultados conseguidos por los lásers en la actualidad permiten establecer que: EL láser Holmium es el tratamiento de elección como litotricia in situ pero que no ha mejorado significativamente los resultados precedentes, en el tratamiento de los tumores y estenosis urológicos. Disponemos hoy de dos tipos de lásers: KTP y HoL que consiguen resultados similares a los de la cirugía en la HBP, pero con menor morbilidad. La utilidad del láser en cirugía laparoscópica está todavía en desarrollo. En conclusión: los Lásers en Urología Hoy desempeñan un papel electivo en litotricia in situ (HoL) y competitivo en cirugía de la HBP (KTP y HoL). En el resto de sus indicaciones: tumores, estenosis, cirugía laparoscópica etc., se precisan estudios y tiempo de seguimiento suficientes para establecer conclusiones fiables

ABSTRACT

Female stress urinary incontinence is a highly prevalent disease with a broad range of surgical approaches with different percentages of success depending on the severity of the condition and the appropriateness of the technique in the indication. A few years ago, laparoscopy was introduced as another therapeutical possibility. The paper presents the Burch-like colposuspension through an extraperitoneal laparoscopic approach for the first time in our country, describing the technique and the preliminary results with a mean follow-up of over 6 months. Our preliminary results, as well as the more numerous from other authors seem to indicate that when a Burch-like colposuspension is indicated, extraperitoneal laparoscopic approach may be the ideal one once the learning curve for laparoscopic surgery is overcome.
