Abstract
A very rapid development of laser technology lead to the fact that many of them have already replaced surgeons with their usual scalpel. Laser technology has taken a place among the methods of treatment of various urological diseases. The features of the physical effect of laser exposure make it possible to characterize laser surgery as safe for the patient and convenient for the doctor. Therefore, along with the improvement of old laser devices, also the development and testing of new ones is constantly carried out. Nowadays the most commonly used lasers in urology are Nd:YAG, Greenlight, diode, Ho:YAG, Tm:YAG lasers and novel thulium fiber laser (TFL). Laser technology is taking place among the recommended methods for the diagnosis and treatment of various urological diseases, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, urolithiasis, and bladder tumors. The aim of our review was to talk about laser devices that have already taken a place in the arsenal of urologist and about the most interesting developments in the field of laser surgery.
