A three-dimensional transient computational study of 532-nm laser thermal ablation in a geometrical model representing prostate tissue.

CONCLUSIONS: Laser thermal tissue ablation employing continuous wave mode lasers outperforms that employing pulsed mode lasers. Laser power settings should be carefully selected to maximize the rate of tissue ablation and minimize tissue coagulation. PMID: 30303431 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
