[Tissue effects of pulsed-dye laser lithotripsy. Experimental study on the ureter in dogs].
The tissue effects of pulsed dye laser (Pulsolith) were studied in 10 dog ureters. The results show the absence of ureteric perforation or damage to adjacent organs by the laser irradiation. The only lesions observed were focal hyperplasia of the urothelium and chorion with extremely limited abrasions of the urothelium. The absence of tissue damage of the pulsed dye laser allows it to be used in human clinical practice.
