ABSTRACT
In comparison to other commercially used lasers, the coagulation layer of the novel 450-nm laser is thinner, and this coagulation layer's thickness is a key factor influencing wound healing. In this study, we investigated whether the novel 200W 450-nm laser system (BR6800, Blueray Medical Ltd., Shaanxi, China) is superior to classic transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for wound healing in beagles. Twenty-two 6-to 8-year-old male beagles were treated with TURP or blue laser vaporization of the prostate (BLVP). Prostate wounds were observed via cystoscopy at 3 h and at 1, 2, 3, and 5 weeks post-operation (two beagles per group). Additionally, two elderly beagles without surgery served as normal controls. After cystoscopy examination, prostate samples were collected and fixed for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and immunofluorescence staining to observe wound healing progression under microscopy. The urethras of prostates under cystoscopy in BLVP groups were healed three weeks after surgery, while in the TURP group, they were healed five weeks after surgery. H&E staining confirmed that the coagulation necrosis layer in the TURP group was thicker than that in the BLVP group and it took longer to remove coagulation necrosis after surgery. Macrophage polarity transformation was also earlier in the BLVP group. The new 200W 450-nm laser was superior to TURP for wound healing. The thinner coagulation layer of the 450-nm laser was the primary reason for this process.
