Application of Thulium Fiber Laser in Plastic Surgery

We present our experience of using the UROLASE+ surgical system, based on thulium laser technology, in the context of plastic surgery. Our work with the thulium fiber laser for soft tissue dissection in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo is described, and the positive outcomes of using the thulium fiber laser, which has not previously been employed in aesthetic surgery of the face and body, are demonstrated in this study. Integration of the thulium fiber laser may enhance safety and facilitate tissue dissection through more precise interventions, reduced blood loss, and improved clinical outcomes. This is particularly relevant for patients who have undergone cosmetic procedures leading to fibrotic changes in soft tissues, which complicate inter-tissue dissection when using traditional methods.
