However, the 2-year recurrence rate after surgery is remarkably high, leading to the need for salvage radical nephroureterectomy. Furthermore, unlike robotic or laparoscopic surgery, the surgical procedure for URS has not been standardized due to the technical specificity of laser devices and ureteroscopes. Therefore, this procedure is performed only in limited facilities with extensive experience internationally. In this review, we introduce the current issues of URS for UTUC and the use of the photodynamic diagnosis-guided URS procedure, which we are implementing to overcome these challenges.","PeriodicalId":19350,"journal":{"name":"Nippon Laser Igakkaishi","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135443095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By light propagation simulation based on a Monte Carlo method, light distributions in tissues by a direct transmission light irradiation probe and a diffused light irradiation probe were calculated to compare each irradiated volume. The simulated results demonstrated quantitatively that the diffused light irradiation probe can irradiate the tumor tissue more efficiently than the direct transmission light irradiation probe for peripheral lung cancer.","PeriodicalId":19350,"journal":{"name":"Nippon Laser Igakkaishi","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89046749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
