Current Advances and Challenges in Urological Surgery Using Laser Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

The field of urology is undergoing rapid advancements with the emergence of novel technologies for the management of lithiasis and the evolution of precision medicine for the treatment of different types of tumors.

Consecutively, urologists are confronting continuous new scientific evidence flow and novel challenges in managing these pathologies. As one of the main scientific fields in urology, laser utilization has been spreading to treat kidney stones and tumors. To appreciate the current evidence on this topic, we propose a Special Issue that focuses on the current advances and challenges in urological surgery using laser technologies. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide readers with the latest updates on these topics.

The subjects of interest for this Special Issue encompass laser applications for urinary stones, upper tract urothelial carcinoma and any tumoral or benign tissue resection/enucleation. The Special Issue is expected to provide valuable insights into preclinical and clinical evidence on these topics which will be of significant interest to urologists, nephrologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with urinary tract disorders.
