IASO Thessalias: The Most Modern Urological Procedures with the New High-Power Laser

The latest techniques in urological surgery are now available at IASO Thessalias through revolutionary laser technology. The new Holmium:YAG 152 Watt high-power laser system now operating at IASO Thessalias is ideal for incision, excision, dissection, cauterization and hemostasis of soft tissue in both open and endoscopic procedures.

It can be used for:

1. lithotripsy procedures,
2. benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) cases,
3. soft tissue applications.

With the use of the new high-power urological laser, all modern developments in urological surgery can now be applied, including:

• Removal, enucleation and repair of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), regardless of prostate size. 
• Endoscopic lithotripsy in the ureter, bladder and kidneys. Using a special stone stabilization program, all lithotripsy procedures can be completed in a single session. 
• Removal and excision of bladder tumors for the treatment of early bladder cancer. 
• Treatment of urethral and ureteral tumors without the use of a scalpel. 
• The new-generation laser can also be used for transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP), urethral and ureteral strictures, condylomas, genital lesions and bladder neck incision (BNI). 

With this advanced technology, available to the highly experienced Urologists of IASO Thessalias, patients are ensured:

• Greater safety during urological procedures, as the laser wavelength is highly absorbed by water and biological tissue with minimal penetration depth, avoiding thermal spread to surrounding tissues. 
• Reduced procedure time due to the high power of the machine (up to 152 WATT), particularly for BPH enucleation and lithotripsy procedures. 
• More effective fragmentation even of the hardest stones, using a high repetition rate combined with low pulse energy, with a repetition frequency range from 3 up to at least 100Hz.
