Laser Shock-Wave Destruction of the Mucous Membrane and Skin Tissues as a Method of Treatment of Pathological Processes in Gynecology

Abstract

The article substantiates a new method of treatment of degenerative diseases in gynecology by controlled destruction with laser shock waves poorly absorbed by biological tissues. The shock-wave process is initiated using finely dispersed absorbing particles deposited on the surface of pathological tissues. Absorption of laser radiation by the particles leads to their explosion accompanied by generation of elastic waves. Propagation of these waves in the surface layer of the surrounding biological tissue leads to its destruction. Such destruction can provide a precision therapeutic effect with controlled depth and area.
