Transurethral Partial Cystectomy With Continuous Wave Laser for Bladder Carcinoma

To our knowledge this is the first report of a 2 μm laser used to treat bladder carcinoma. It can be applied to precisely vaporize and incise the full-thickness bladder wall and peel it between detrusor muscle layers and outer loose connective tissues, thus completing partial cystectomy for bladder carcinoma.
