title: Cystitis cystica treated with the neodymium-YAG laser. Case report.
abstract: We report on two patients with severe urgency and pollakisuria where further investigations revealed cystitis cystica (glandularis). Conservative treatment and TUR of the lesions had no effect on the symptoms. After treatment with Neodymium-YAG laser, however, both have been asymptomatic for more than 18 months and urethrocystoscopic examination demonstrated normalization of the bladder mucosa.
