Abstract
Recently, the new ceramic laser probe was invented and utilized for endoscopic therapy of the gastrointestinal lesions. This laser probe is applied to the contact method in which the probe touches or punctures the tissue. As a preclinical step, we performed the experimental studies on the influence of laser rays in dogs and rats. The results characterized this laser probe as the destruction of deep tissue.
Therefore, Therefore, this new probe can be a more reliable method of coagulation of the center of a lesion rich in vessels. On the basis of these results, we applyed this new ceramic laser probe to clinical trials. This laser probe can be used as a new promising treatment for gastrointestinal cancers.
