Abstract

We have been studying endoscopic Nd-YAG laser therapies since 1979. In consequence, advantages of the contact method by using ceramic endoprobes were revealed¹²³. Various endoprobes were developed by our studies, and the experimental studies and clinical applications of ceramic frosted probe and chisel probe with Nd-YAG laser were studied. Frosted probe was able to thrombose in the artery of the canine gastric submucosal layer by Nd-YAG laser irra-diation, and was applied to endoscopic hemostasis. Chisel probe was able to cut canine gastric mucosa at the power of 20watts and duration of 2.Osec. with Nd-YAG laser, and was applied to endoscopic pyloroplasty and cutting complete biopsy of submucosal tumor.
