Laser Treatment for Midesophageal Diverticulum

Midesophageal diverticulum is described as 5 cm above and below the level of the trachea bifurcation.

Midesophageal diverticulum is largely asymptomatic, with only a few cases of dysphagia, reflux, or chest discomfort.

Epiphrenic diverticula at the bottom of the esophagus are caused by pressure that builds up as stomach contents are pushed against the lower sphincter. The pressure causes the tissue to bulge out.

Cases of esophageal diverticulum that cause minor symptoms can be treated through lifestyle changes, such as eating a bland diet, chewing food thoroughly, and drinking plenty of water after meals. However, serious cases definitely need surgical or preferably non-surgical laser interventions.

Professional laser devices should, without a doubt, be utilized by otolaryngologists to provide a safe, accurate, and effective treatment. In this regard, otolaryngologists have long recommended the FDA Portable Surgery Diode Laser System LASER-1.2B.

The FDA Portable 980nm Surgery Laser System LASER-1.2B is specifically designed to meet otolaryngologists’ exact requirements as it deploys 980 nm wavelength with 15W as maximum power. These are the exact laser criteria needed in most throat laser-guided microsurgeries.

To put it another way, the tissue components haemoglobin and melanin in the throat interact more with this device’s blue laser light, even at low power, allowing LASER-1.2B to perform better and softer bloodless, painless throat treatment/surgery.

What also makes the LASER-1.2B highly recommended by Otolaryngologists is that it displays an accurate alignment and exact sighting during the micro-surgery.

Furthermore, the device is supported with a fibre guide laser to ensure superior outcomes.

These fibres are compatible with various endoscopic uses. They are also sterilisable which, in turn, prevents any possible cross-infection while guaranteeing a clean and bloodless operative area. This should actually reduce all possible thermal damages.

Moreover, the complete absence of water absorption in the device helps drastically reduce the overheating of the surrounding tissues.

This should reduce any potential side effects, boosting the efficiency of laser therapy.

Because of all of the advantages described above and more, the LASER-1.2 B ensures an accurate and successful treatment of Midesophageal diverticulum issues, a therapy that is far more effective than that achieved with infrared lasers.
