Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser therapy, and particularly to a novel laser therapy device for benign prostatic hyperplasia in urology. Background Art

[0002] Benign prostatic hyperplasia is one of the common diseases in middle-aged and elderly men, and its incidence is increasing gradually with the aging of the global population. The incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia increases with age, but there may be no clinical symptoms when there is hyperplastic lesion. It may be due to the imbalance between epithelial and stromal cell proliferation and apoptosis, and other related factors: androgens and their interaction with estrogens, the interaction between prostatic stroma and glandular epithelial cells, growth factors, inflammatory cells, neurotransmitters and genetic factors, etc. It is known that two conditions, a functional testis and age growth, are necessary for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

[0003] Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological disease in middle-aged and elderly men, and its incidence is increasing year by year with the aggravation of the global population aging trend. Traditional BPH treatment methods mainly include drug treatment, open surgery and minimally invasive surgery, etc. However, these methods have certain limitations: drug treatment usually can only relieve symptoms, cannot cure the disease, and long-term medication may cause side effects; although open surgery has definite curative effect, it has large surgical trauma, long postoperative recovery time and high risk of complications; minimally invasive surgery (such as transurethral resection of the prostate) has less trauma, but still has risks such as bleeding and urethral stricture, and the resection effect on larger volume of prostatic tissue is limited.

[0004] In recent years, with the continuous development of laser technology, laser therapy has gradually become an important means for treating BPH. Laser therapy has the advantages of minimally invasive, precise and fast postoperative recovery, etc., and can effectively reduce intraoperative bleeding and postoperative complications. However, the existing laser technology has problems such as inaccurate energy control, imperfect imaging guidance system, insufficient cooling system efficiency and low intelligence level. Therefore, the technical personnel in this field provide a novel laser therapy device for benign prostatic hyperplasia in urology to solve the problems raised in the above background art.
