Abstract
Fifty-five bladder tumours, in 12 patients, were treated by coagulation using the neodymium-yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd-YAG) laser. All the tumours were superficial, grade I or II, and varied in size from 5 to 30 mm. Laser energy was applied using a quartz-fibre delivery system via a rigid cystoscope under general anaesthesia. Up to ten tumours were treated at any one cystoscopy. One patient underwent transurethral resection of tumours larger than 30 mm combined with laser coagulation of smaller lesions.
