Laser Ablation - Urology

Minimally Invasive Treatment Technique

Treatment Solution

Laser ablation is a minimally invasive treatment technique that uses focused laser energy delivered through a fine optical fiber to target selected tissue with precision. Depending on the clinical application, laser energy may be used to cut, vaporize, shrink, coagulate, or seal tissue while helping to reduce unnecessary trauma to surrounding areas.

At Healthcon, this treatment option is supported by GigaaMed medical laser technology, designed for use across multiple specialties including ENT, Gynaecology, Urology, PLDD, and BPH management. GigaaMedical lists surgical laser applications including ENT, gynaecology, urology and PLDD among its medical laser product areas.

Disease Overview

What is Urology?

Urological conditions refer to disorders affecting the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, and male reproductive organs. These conditions may involve stones, strictures, abnormal tissue growth, bleeding, obstruction, or soft tissue lesions that can affect urine flow, comfort, and overall urinary function. In selected cases, laser technology may be used to fragment stones, cut, vaporize, coagulate, or ablate targeted tissue through a minimally invasive endoscopic approach.

Clinical Applications

How GigaaMed Laser Ablation Treats Urological Conditions

GigaaMed laser technology delivers controlled laser energy through fine optical fibres during selected endoscopic urology procedures. Depending on the indication and treatment setting, the laser may be used for stone fragmentation, soft tissue cutting, vaporization, coagulation, or ablation.

For stone management, laser energy can help break urinary stones into smaller fragments. For soft tissue procedures, it supports precise tissue interaction with coagulation control, which may help improve visibility during treatment.

The GigaaMed reference highlights urology applications including lithotripsy, soft tissue ablation, tissue cutting, coagulation, tumor-related procedures, and stricture treatment.
