Resolution of selective fetal growth restriction after laser surgery for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome can be predicted by predisease growth discordance. To determine if the resolution of fetal growth discordance after laser surgery in pregnancies with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and coexisting selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) can be predicted by estimated fetal weight (EFW) discordance recorded prior to the development of TTTS (pre-TTTS). This was a single-center, retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on monochorionic twins with concurrent TTTS and sFGR that underwent laser surgery and had available growth ultrasound records from a pre-TTTS ultrasound evaluation. Maternal demographics, pregnancy characteristics and birth outcomes were compared

Randomized Controlled Trial of Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome Laser Surgery: The Sequential Trial. Intraoperative blood transfer between twins during laser surgery for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) can vary by surgical technique and has been proposed to explain differences in donor twin survival. This trial compared donor twin survival with 2 laser techniques: the sequential technique to sequential versus selective laser surgery. Nested within the trial, a second trial randomized patients with superficial anastomoses (arterioarterial and venovenous) to ablation of these connections first (before ablating the arteriovenous anastomoses) versus last. The primary outcome measure was donor twin survival at birth. A total of 642 patients were randomized. Overall donor twin survival was similar

Impact of Detrusor Muscle Activity on Short-term Prognosis Following 1470 nm Semiconductor Laser Surgery in Elderly Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. To investigate the influence of preoperative detrusor muscle activity on the short-term prognosis of elderly patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) undergoing 1470 nm semiconductor laser surgery. A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data from 165 elderly BPH patients who underwent 1470 nm semiconductor laser surgery between May 2019 and April 2023. Patients were stratified based on preoperative urodynamic study findings, specifically their bladder contractility index (BCI). Patients with a BCI ≤100 constituted the detrusor underactivity (DU) group (n=64), while those with a BCI >100 formed the non-DU group (n

Role of gestational age at time of placental laser surgery in outcomes of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. There are conflicting data on whether fetoscopic laser photocoagulation of placental anastomoses (FLP) for treating twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is associated with lower rates of overall survival. The objective of this study is to characterize survival and other associated

Real-time placental vessel segmentation in fetoscopic laser surgery for Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is a rare condition that affects about 15% of monochorionic pregnancies, in which identical twins share a single placenta. Fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) is the standard treatment for TTTS, which significantly improves the survival of fetuses

Narrow-Band Imaging in Transoral Laser Surgery for Early Glottic Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Assessing whether the additional use of narrow-band imaging (NBI) in transoral laser surgery (TOLS) for early laryngeal cancer improves clinical outcomes. Randomized controlled trial, performed between September 2015 and November 2022. A tertiary referral hospital in The Netherlands. TOLS

Microlaryngeal Laser Surgery Using High-flow Nasal Ventilation at Two Oxygen Concentration Deliveries. Ventilation using 100% oxygenation creates a risk of fire during laser microlaryngeal surgery (MLS). The purpose of this study is to describe the technique of transnasal high-flow ventilation using laser safe (30%) oxygen conditions, measure the intraoperative real-time laryngeal oxygen

Healing after transoral carbon dioxide laser surgery for early glottic cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of granulation tissue after endoscopic carbon dioxide laser surgery for glottic cancer. This was a retrospective review of 36 patients who underwent endoscopic carbon dioxide laser surgery for T and T glottic cancer. Post-operative, endoscopic examinations were versus 1 of 4 wounds biopsied at equal to or less than 3.5 months (85.7 per cent 25 per cent; 0.03). Biopsy at more than 3.5 months was associated with 28-fold increased odds of cancer in biopsy compared with biopsy at equal to or less than 3.5 months (odds ratio, 28.0; 95 per cent confidence interval, 1.088-373.3). After carbon dioxide laser surgery for glottic cancer, development of granulation

Surgiflo® hemostatic matrix versus NasoPore® nasal packing following postassium titanyl phosphate laser surgery for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: A randomized controlled trial. To help ensure adequate hemostasis immediately following potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser treatment, many centres treating hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) routinely use nasal packing post

Management of short cervix in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome: A role for pessary placement following fetoscopic laser surgery? Preterm labor and delivery (PTLD) is a major concern in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome undergoing fetoscopic laser surgery (FLS). A preoperative short cervix is a risk factor for PTL. Pessary placement is a short acting intervention that may be useful to reduce this adverse event. We aimed to investigate the relationship between pessary placement and preterm delivery in monochorionic twin pregnancies with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and a short cervix before FLS. We conducted a retrospective study in two centers, including all pregnancies affected by TTTS who underwent fetoscopic laser surgery with the Solomon technique between 2013 and 2022 (center

Maternal hemodynamic evaluation in monochorionic twin pregnancy complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome treated with fetoscopic laser surgery. Maternal cardiovascular adaptations are amplified in twin pregnancies to support the metabolic request of the feto-placental unit. Few studies have evaluated the maternal hemodynamics changes after routine use of laser surgery in the treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). The aim of our study was to evaluate hemodynamic changes in monochorionic twin pregnancies complicated by TTTS before and after treatment with fetoscopic laser surgery. A prospective observational study from 2020 to 2022, included monochorionic twin pregnancies complicated withTTTS undergoing laser surgery between 16 and 26 weeks 'gestation. To assess placental

Prediction of preterm birth by transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging measurements of cervical length in pregnancies complicated by twin-twin transfusion and treated with laser surgery. Twin pregnancies are at high risk of preterm birth, especially when complicated by twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) measurement of cervical length (CL) is one of data on accuracy of MRI for cervical length screening in high-risk pregnancies. We sought to investigate the correlation of CL between the two imaging modalities and quantifying the predictive accuracy pre-op MRI CL as compared to TVUS CL for preterm birth outcomes among pregnancies complicated by TTTS that underwent laser surgery to identify if MRI is a useful adjunct to TVUS. Retrospective cohort

Long-pulsed 1,064-nm gallium arsenide laser surgical device treatment for improving symptoms of onychomycosis: a comparative analysis. Onychomycosis is the most common infective nail disease, and treatment includes topical and systemic antifungal medications. Recently, laser therapy has emerged as a therapeutic option for patients who are unable to take oral antifungal agents. We investigated the effectiveness and safety of a novel long-pulsed 1,064-nm gallium arsenide (GaAs) laser surgical device for onychomycosis. This 24-week single-center, single-blind, active-controlled exploratory clinical study comparatively evaluated the long-pulsed 1,064-nm GaAs laser (Healer1064) with the short-pulsed Nd:YAG laser surgical device in 20 participants randomly assigned to receive either test or control
