SURGICAL METHOD FOR TREATING BENIGN NODULAR NEOPLASMS IN MAMMARY GLAND WITH HIGH INTENSITY LASER RADIATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61B18/22 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves concurrently introducing several conductors into neoplasm in puncture mode. Light guide is introduced through each of them and high intensity laser radiation treatment is applied to nodular neoplasm tissue in every introduction point. The number of conductors concurrently introduced into nodular neoplasm is equal to the number of laser radiation treatment zones, that is determined from formula the number of laser treatment zones = (V fibroadenoma or V residual cystic cavitycm³)/0.8 cm³, where V is the volume, 0.8 cm³ is the fully devitalized tissue around each laser treatment point under declared laser radiation parameters. Diode laser radiation of 805 nm wavelength and power of 1.5-2.0 W is used in constant mode until delivered power becomes equal to at least 1000 J in each point.

EFFECT: uniform laser radiation treatment applied to the whole abnormally transformed tissue volume, including irregular shape neoplasm cases; minimized surrounding tissue injuries.
