- Laparoscopy versus laparotomy for the management of early stage endometrial cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Oct-2018
This is an update of a previous Cochrane Review published in 2012, Issue 9. - Laquinimod for multiple sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Aug-2013
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated, inflammatory, demyelinating, neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system, and it causes major socioeconomic burden for the individual patient and for society. An inflammatory pathology occ - Larviciding to prevent malaria transmission
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Aug-2019
Larviciding refers to the regular application of chemical or microbial insecticides to water bodies or water containers to kill the aquatic immature forms of the mosquito (the larvae and pupae). - Larvivorous fish for preventing malaria transmission
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Dec-2017
Adult female Anopheles mosquitoes can transmit Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria. Some fish species eat mosquito larvae and pupae. In disease control policy documents, the World Health Organization (WHO) includes biological control of malaria vector - Laryngeal mask airway surfactant administration for prevention of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants with or at risk of respiratory distress syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jun-2011
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) administration is one way of delivering surfactant to the infant lung, with the potential benefit of avoiding endotracheal intubation and ventilation, ventilator induced lung injury and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). - Laryngeal mask airway versus bag‐mask ventilation or endotracheal intubation for neonatal resuscitation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Mar-2018
Providing effective positive pressure ventilation is considered to be the single most important component of successful neonatal resuscitation. Ventilation is frequently initiated manually with bag and face mask (BMV) followed by endotracheal intubation i - Laryngeal mask airway versus endotracheal tube for percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy in critically ill adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Nov-2018
Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is one of the most common bedside surgical procedures performed in critically ill adults, on intensive care units (ICUs), who require long-term ventilation. PDT is associated with relevant life-threatening comp - Laser and photoepilation for unwanted hair growth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2008
Unwanted hair growth is a therapeutic challenge and considerable resources are spent to achieve a hair-free appearance. Epilation with laser devices (alexandrite, diode, neodymium:YAG, and ruby lasers) and intense pulsed light are commonly used although t - Laser peripheral iridoplasty for chronic angle closure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Mar-2021
In at least a third of primary angle closure cases, appositional angle closure persists after laser peripheral iridotomy, and further intervention may be considered. Laser peripheral iridoplasty (LPIp) can be used in treating chronic angle closure when an - Laser photocoagulation for choroidal neovascularisation in pathologic myopia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-2008
Pathologic myopia is usually defined as the need for a spectacle correction of -6 diopters or higher. Choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) is the most commonly occurring cause of visual loss in people with pathologic myopia. In myopic macular degeneration t - Laser photocoagulation for neovascular age-related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Oct-2008
Laser photocoagulation was the first treatment introduced to try to halt the progression of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), in which newly formed vessels or choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) grow under the macula leading to the occurr - Laser photocoagulation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Nov-2014
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes in which high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina. Sometimes new blood vessels grow in the retina, and these can have harmful effects; this is known as proliferative diabetic retinop - Laser prostatectomy for benign prostatic obstruction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jan-2000
Symptomatic benign prostatic obstruction is a common problem for older men. The gold standard treatment, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), significantly improves urinary symptoms and urinary flow. However, TURP has up to a 20% morbidity. Cur - Laser resurfacing for facial acne scars
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Apr-2016
Most people have acne at some stage during their life, with about one per cent being left with permanent acne scars. Recent laser techniques are thought to be more effective than chemical peels and dermabrasion. - Laser therapy for dentinal hypersensitivity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Jul-2021
Dentinal hypersensitivity is characterized by short, sharp pain from exposed dentine that occurs in response to external stimuli such as cold, heat, osmotic, tactile or chemicals, and cannot be explained by any other form of dental defect or pathology. La - Laser therapy for retinopathy in sickle cell disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Oct-2015
Sickle cell disease includes a group of inherited haemoglobinopathies affecting multiple organs including the eyes. Some people with the disease develop ocular manifestations due to vaso-occlusion. Vision-threatening complications of sickle cell disease a - Laser therapy for treating hypertrophic and keloid scars
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Sep-2022
Hypertrophic and keloid scars are common skin conditions resulting from abnormal wound healing. They can cause itching, pain and have a negative physical and psychological impact on patients’ lives. Different approaches are used aiming to improve these sc - Laser therapy for venous leg ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jul-2014
Around one percent of people in industrialised countries will suffer from a leg ulcer at some time. The majority of these leg ulcers are due to problems in the veins, resulting in an accumulation of blood in the legs. Leg ulcers arising from venous proble - Laser trabeculoplasty for open‐angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Aug-2022
Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is an important cause of blindness worldwide. Laser trabeculoplasty, a treatment modality, still does not have a clear position in the treatment sequence. - Laser treatment of drusen to prevent progression to advanced age‐related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2015
Drusen are amorphous yellowish deposits beneath the sensory retina. People with drusen, particularly large drusen, are at higher risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The most common complication in AMD is choroidal neovascularisation
