4. Technical Note: First Use of Endonasal Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy – Feasibility and Proof of Concept
Abstract Introduction Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (p-CLE) is a method for real-time in vivo visualization of mucosal changes on a cellular level. Due to the size of the endoscopes, it was mainly used in the gastrointestinal tract so far. First investigations on head and neck carcinoma described the oropharyngeal application. The further miniat

8. Holmium laser ureterocele excision with transurethral incision of the prostate
ABSTRACT Introduction: Ureteroceles present a diagnostic and treatment challenge in adults (1). With an estimated prevalence of 1/500 to 1/4000, it is not uncommon for any urologist to encounter ureteroceles in clinical practice (2). The incidence of prolapsed ureteroceles in adults is unknown (3). Materials and Methods: We present an interesting case of a

11. Management of Early Glottic Cancer Treated by CO2 Laser According to Surgical-Margin Status: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Abstract Introduction Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is the treatment of choice for Tis-T2 squamous cell glottic carcinomas due to its advantages compared with open surgery and radiotherapy. However, the CO2 laser beam causes changes and damage on the specimens, making the histological assessment of resection margins, the gold standard for confirming ra
