Abstract
|
|
|
|
Medical laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is one of the various efficient and safe modalities for diagnosis and treatment of medical disease. Use of laser technology in the medical field has been expanded over decades and its use in urological practice has also been advanced, particularly in treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), fragmentation of urinary stones, incision of strictures of the urinary tract, eradication of various tumor lesions of the skin and bladder urothelial cancer. Review of the history and evolution of lasers for better understanding of their roles in clinical practice will be worthwhile.
