Nd: YAG laser therapy of rectosigmoid bleeding due to radiation injury. 1982

R S Leuchter, and E S Petrilli, and R M Dwyer, and N F Hacker, and T W Castaldo, and L D Lagasse

The Nd:YAG laser was used to treat a patient bleeding from the rectosigmoid as a result of radiation injury related to therapy for cervical carcinoma. Successful laser therapy was performed after a diverting colostomy failed to control persistent bleeding. Further surgical procedures were not required. Characteristics of Nd:YAG laser as compared with those of the carbon dioxide and argon lasers are considered.
