Abstract
Laser therapy has many applications in the treatment of urologic diseases. The advantages of laser treatment over conventional techniques are less bleeding and pain and a reduced need for anesthesia. The development of new fibers and right-angle delivery systems allows new applications for laser therapy. We review the current indications, advantages, and disadvantages of using lasers for the management of the various urogenital lesions.
