1470 nm/980 nm dual-wavelength laser is safe and efficient for the en-bloc resection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer: A propensity score-matched analysis
JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL RESEARCH(2021)
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 1470 nm/980 nm dual-wavelength laser system used for the en-bloc resection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) compared with transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). Methods This retrospective study analysed the demographic and clinical data from patients diagnosed with NMIBC that were treated by either dual laser or TURBT. Intraoperative characteristics, postoperative characteristics and outcomes between the two groups were compared. Results This study analysed 64 patients, 32 in each group. No severe complications were identified in either group. After propensity score-matching, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the demographics, clinical and tumour characteristics. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of specimen quality. In the laser group, intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower and significantly fewer patients required continuous bladder irrigation after surgery, compared with the TURBT group. No significant differences were observed in the catheterization time, gross haematuria time and hospitalization time. Operation time in the laser group was significantly longer compared with the TURBT group. No significant difference was found in the recurrence and progression rates between the two groups. Conclusions The 1470 nm/980 nm dual-wavelength laser provides a safe and effective surgical treatment option for patients with NMIBC.
