Arthroscopic meniscectomy using holmium yag laser

Year 1994, Volume: 28 Issue: 5, 360 - 361, 11.09.2006

Abstract

Our prospective study compare 40 holmium yag laser meniscectomies with 40 mechanical meniscectomies. Mean duration of laser meniscectomy was 12 minutes againts 10 minutes with the mechanical instruments. In only one case, laser meniscectomy was impossible due to air abuble phenomenon and two superficial cartilaginous thermal changes were observed. In the laser group the effusion was less frequent and less important. Pain difference was not statistically significant. Return to range of motion was very fast in the laser group. Helmium Yag laser is safe and effective and results are a little bit better than mechanical instruments. Unfortunately, the cost remains very high and limits its use. However, meniscectomy is not the only advantage of laser system. it is effective for synovectomy, lateral release, cartilaginous shaving, and even bone abrasion.

Holmium Yag lazer kullanarak artroskopik menisektomi

Year 1994, Volume: 28 Issue: 5, 360 - 361, 11.09.2006

Abstract

Biz 40 holmium yağ lazer menisektomisiyle 40 mekanik menisektomiyi karşılaştırdık. Lazer menisektominin ortalama süresi 10 dakikalık mekanik menisektomiye göre 12 dakika idi. Sadece bir vakada, baloncuk fenomeni nedeniyle lazer menisektomi imkamsız idi. 2 vakada da kartilaj'da yüzeysel termal değişiklikler oldu. Lazer grubunda effüzyon daha nadir ve daha az önemliydi. Ağrı farkı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi. Lazer grubunda normal eklem hareketlerine dönüş çok hızlıydı. Holmium Yag lazer güvenli ve etkilidir ve sonuçlar mekanik enstrümanlardan biraz daha iyidir. Maalesef maaliyeti çok yüksektir ve kullanımı sınırlamaktadır. Mamafih menisektomi lazer sistemi tek avantaj değildir. Sinovektomi, lateral release, kartilaj tıraşlaması ve hafta kemik abrazyonuna da lazer etkilidir.
