Abstract
A CO2 laser system which includes the CO2 laser unit, a microscope for receiving the laser beam and directing the beam to the infected area; a modified air cystoscope which further comprises a first primary member having a shaft portion with a continuous bore therethrough; a flare neck portion, and a handle member attached to the flared neck member; a secondary member, further comprising a primary shaft portion and enlarged cone portion, and a rear handle portion, with the outer diameter of the cone being of substantially the same diameter as the inner diameter of the shaft member, so that upon being inserted into the shaft member the cone would protrude out from the shaft member and serve as a means for directing the shaft into the female urethra opening thus eliminating the blunt end of the shaft making contact therewith. There would further be included a means for removing the secondary member from the bore in the shaft, to expose the urethra wall or trigone area for visualization through the bore in the shaft, and means for further directing a laser beam through the opening in the shaft for making direct with the infected area either on the trigone or the wall of the urethra, depending on the area to be treated.
