HOLA™ laser therapy is the new alternative myoma treatment – used to gently remove myomas and polyps – International School of Hysteroscopy founded in Barcelona

Jena, May 5, 2015 – The HOLA™ laser therapy by biolitec is a gentle and effective outpatient laser treatment which can be performed under local anesthesia. Its laser light precisely removes the diseased tissue as it can be focused in a way that no surrounding tissue is damaged or open wounds are caused.

For the around 20 per cent of women at a childbearing age who suffer from myomas, numerous therapy options are available. Depending on size, position, and amount of the myomas, different therapy options may be applicable. However the biolitec laser therapy HOLA™ combines all the positive characteristics of a hysteroscopic treatment (a treatment through the vagina), and therefore differentiates itself in a positive way from other therapies in terms of application and result. The new HOLA laser therapy can reduce the risk of scar tissue and bleeding in the uterus. Especially when treating patients with the desire to have children therapies which preserve the uterus should be in the focus.

It depends on the physician“s recommendation if an embolization, which is the destruction of myomas through the injection of tiny gelatinous or plastic particles into the vascular system, or morcellation, where the myoma is mechanically destroyed, may be among the right therapy options. However the FDA currently calls for caution when performing morcellation, since in some rare cases a scattering of unrecognized malignant tissue into the abdominal region may occur due to shredding myoma.

New International School of Laser Hysteroscopy founded in Barcelona
Hysteroscopic forms of therapy like HOLA™ by biolitec become more and more popular, also because uterus-preserving methods are prevailing. The newly founded International School of Hysteroscopy in Barcelona has set itself the goal to pass on knowledge and techniques about laser-based hysteroscopic treatments to gynecologists worldwide.

During a hysteroscopic treatment a very thin tube with a small optic and a laser probe are led into the uterine cavity through the vagina, where the treatment is then very gently performed.

At the International School of Laser Hysteroscopy, gynecologists have the opportunity to receive profound specific training in the field of laser-based therapies in order to be able to perform outpatient treatments under local anesthesia.
