Term
The internal iliac veins are formed by what tributaries?

Name the components of these two tributaries
Definition
The confluence of the extra pelvic and intrapelvic venous tributaries

Intrapelvic tributaries:consists of veins draining the sacrum rectum bladder prostate uterus and vagina

extrapelvic tributaries: gluteal, internal pudendal and obturator veins
Term

What elements of a laser are important for:

 

tissue target specificity 

 

Selective photothermolysis 

 

Thermokinetic selectivity 

Definition

Tissue target specificity:

  • monochromatic wavelength

 

Selective photothermolysis:

  • specific wavelength targeting the chromophore,
  • pulse duration shorter than the thermal relaxation time of the chromophore

Thermokinetic selectivity 

  • Pulse duration longer than the TRT of the competing chromophores
  • Sufficient energy to injure target-
  • Slow heating
  • Cooling of tissue 
Term

What wavelength laser is most specific for treating leg veins?

 


Which wavelength is best for treating reticular veins?

 

Treating of leg veins,  must be in what units of pulse duration and why?
Definition

418 but not most efficient (targets Hgb)

 

1064

 

miliseconds... to achieve a slow injury of the target
