THERMO-ABLATIVE FRACTIONAL CO2 LASERS COMBINED WITH 1540 nm WAVELENGTHS IS A PROMISING TREATMENT OPTION IN STRESS URINARY INCONTINENCE
Medical Sciences
Study published in Medical Sciences, evaluating the efficacy of an innovative dual wavelength laser system (CO2 + 1540 nm) in the management of SUI. 56 women with SUI were enrolled in this study. Half of the patients were treated with CO2 alone, while the other half were treated with the combination of CO2 + 1540 nm wavelengths. Patients were divided into four groups based on the type of treatment received and their menopausal status. The use of a dual wavelength laser system (CO2 + 1540 nm) was shown to be well tolerated and safe, with promising results in reducing symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), especially in non-menopausal patients. In addition, as an added value, the suburethral laser treatment technique was defined.
