Lasers in the upper urinary tract for non-stone disease

Courtney K Phillips et al. World J Urol. 2007 Jun.

Abstract

Though the most common use for lasers in the genitourinary tract is for urolithiasis, a number of other urologic conditions can be treated with lasers because of their unique ablative, destructive and hemostatic properties. This paper reviews the advantages and disadvantages of laser technology for a number of non-stone indications.
