Ukwelashwa kwe-Laser ngomdlavuza

Ukwelashwa kwe-Laser kusebenzisa ukukhanya okuncane, okugxile ekukhanyeni ukunciphisa noma ukubhubhisa amangqamuzana omdlavuza. Ingasetshenziselwa ukusika izicubu ngaphandle kokulimaza ezinye izicubu.

Ukwelashwa nge-Laser kuvame ukunikezwa ngeshubhu encane, ekhanyisiwe efakwa ngaphakathi komzimba. Imicu emincane ekugcineni kwethubhu iqondisa ukukhanya kumaseli womdlavuza. Ama-Lasers nawo asetshenziswa esikhumbeni.

Ukwelashwa nge-Laser kungasetshenziselwa:

• Bhubhisa izicubu kanye neziqu ezingapholi
• Nciphisa izicubu ezivimbela isisu, ikholoni, noma isophahla
• Siza ukwelapha izimpawu zomdlavuza, njengokuphuma kwegazi
• Phatha imiphumela emibi yomdlavuza, njengokuvuvukala
• Vala ukuphela kwezinzwa ngemuva kokuhlinzwa ukunciphisa izinhlungu
• Vala imikhumbi ye-lymph ngemuva kokuhlinzwa ukunciphisa ukuvuvukala nokugcina amangqamuzana wesimila angasakazeki

Ama-Lasers avame ukusetshenziswa nezinye izinhlobo zokwelashwa komdlavuza njenge-radiation kanye ne-chemotherapy.

Eminye imishanguzo yokwelapha i-laser ekwelapheni ihlanganisa:

• Isifuba
• Ubuchopho
• Isikhumba
• Ikhanda nentamo
• Umlomo wesibeletho

Ama-lasers avame kakhulu ekwelapheni umdlavuza yilawa:

• Ama-lasers eCarbon dioxide (CO2). Lawa ma-lasers asusa izingqimba ezincanyana zezicubu ebusweni bomzimba kanye nolwelwesi lwezitho ngaphakathi komzimba. Bangalapha umdlavuza wesikhumba wesisekelo se-basal kanye nomdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho, isitho sangasese sowesifazane kanye nesitho sangasese.
• Ama-argon lasers. Lawa ma-lasers angalapha umdlavuza wesikhumba futhi asetshenziswa nemithi ezwela ukukhanya ekwelashweni okubizwa nge-photodynamic therapy.
• Nd: Ama-Yag lasers. Lawa ma-lasers asetshenziselwa ukwelapha umdlavuza wesibeletho, i-colon, ne-esophagus. Imicu ekhipha i-laser ifakwa ngaphakathi kwesimila ukuze ifudumeze futhi ilimaze amangqamuzana omdlavuza. Lokhu kwelashwa kusetshenziselwe ukunciphisa izicubu zesibindi.

Uma kuqhathaniswa nokuhlinzwa, i-laser therapy inezinzuzo ezithile. Ukwelashwa kwe-Laser:

• Kuthatha isikhathi esincane
• Inemba kakhudlwana futhi ibangela ukulimala okuncane kwezicubu
• Kuholela ebuhlungwini obuncane, ukopha, ukutheleleka, kanye nesibazi
• Kungavame ukwenziwa ehhovisi likadokotela esikhundleni sesibhedlela

Ukwehla kokwelashwa kwe-laser yikhona:

• Ababaningi odokotela abaqeqeshelwe ukuyisebenzisa
• Kuyabiza
• Imiphumela kungenzeka ingahlali ngakho ukwelashwa kungadinga ukuphindwa
