Abstract:
Bladder tumor is a common tumor in the urinary system, posing a serious threat to patients’ health and quality of life. The standard surgical method for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is the transurethral resection of bladder tumor. As a new type of minimally invasive treatment, transurethral holmium laser has shown unique advantages in the treatment of bladder tumors. This work introduces the epidemiological characteristics of bladder tumors and the limitations of traditional treatment methods and elaborates on the technical principles, development history of holmium laser and its application status in the treatment of bladder tumors. By analyzing clinical research data, it compares therapeutic effects between holmium laser and other treatment methods. It also presents the key points of surgical techniques, perioperative management strategies, and measures for the prevention and treatment of complications. This research discusses the current technical challenges and future development directions in holmium laser treatment, providing references for clinical practice and research.
