Abstract
The introduction of lasers to urological surgical practice has resulted in significant improvements in patient care. This has been demonstrated in the management of stones and also in the treatment of prostatic disease. Urology is a rapidly evolving specialty and laser surgery is at the forefront. Laser surgery for bladder outflow obstruction can offer significant benefits to the patient and to the hospital whilst offering similar or superior outcomes to TURP or open prostatectomy.
