  • Title: Neodymium-YAG laser: new treatment for urethral stricture disease.
    Author: Shanberg AM, Chalfin SA, Tansey LA.
    Journal: Urology; 1984 Jul; 24(1):15-7. PubMed ID: 6740842.
    Abstract:
    This is a preliminary report concerning the use of Neodymium-YAG laser for urethral strictures. A new technique, not previously described, is explained, and the early results and complications are analyzed. The results were documented with urethrograms and uroflowmetry. We believe the Nd:YAG laser is a safe and effective means of treating urethral strictures. Also it reduces the cost of treatment, and the patients return to work in four to five days.
