Purpose: Little is known about the soft tissue destruction by holmium laser clinically used for holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), subject to the distance between the laser fiber tip and the tissue surface. We aimed to investigate the impact of the distance between the laser fiber tip and the phantom surface (DLP) on a soft tissue phantom (STP) in relation to the surgical modes of HoLEP.Methods: STP responses to the laser pulses produced by a commercial holmium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Holmium:YAG) laser at an output setting 2 J were observed at different values of the DLP (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm) to look at (1) the single laser pulse-induced cavitation bubble and its penetration into the STP, (2) the STP destruction by a single pulse, (3) the STP destruction by 60 pulses repeated at 12 Hz, and (4) the thermal effect by the multiple pulses visualized on a thermosensitive bovine serum albumin (BSA) STP.Results: We observed that the laser pulse produced a heated gas bubble in water centered at the laser fiber tip. The bubble shape depended on the DLP. The bubble completely penetrated into the STP at the DLP of 0 mm and the penetration decreased with the DLP. The size of the destruction of the STP by the laser pulses was shown to decrease as the DLP increased. Test with the BSA STP showed that, at the DLP of 3 mm, the destruction became insignificant while the thermal effects were still effective.Conclusions: We illustrated that soft tissue destruction by the Holmium:YAG laser is associated with cavitation effects. We provide for the first time experimental evidence for various surgical modes in HoLEP such as incision and hemostasis in relation to the DLP.
