Laser Treatment for Midesophageal Diverticulum

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

Midesophageal diverticulum is usually asymptomatic, with rare clinical manifestations of dysphagia, reflux and chest pain.

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.

For sure, professional laser machines should be used by otolaryngologists in order to guarantee a safe, accurate and successful treatment. In this context, the Portable Surgery Laser System SIFLASER-1.2B has for long been otolaryngologists’ top recommendation.

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

To put it clearer, the tissue components hemoglobin and melanin in the throat interact more with this device’s blue laser light even at reduced power which, in turn, allows SIFLASER-1.2B to perform better and softer bloodless, pain-free throat treatment/surgery.

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

Further, in order to guarantee better results, the device is supported with a fiber guide laser.

These fibers are compatible with various endoscopic uses. They are also sterilisable which, in turn, prevents any possible cross-infections 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 eliminate any possible after-effects which, in turn, will reinforce the laser treatment’s efficacy.

Due to all the mentioned features and more, the SIFLASER-1.2 B guarantees an accurate and successful treatment of Midesophageal diverticulum issue, a therapy that is much more effective than the one obtained with infrared lasers.
