Abstract:
The holmium laser is used routinely during endoscopic procedures to treat stones, strictures, and tumors of the urinary tract. We report two successful novel endourologic applications of a holmium laser: division and removal of a synthetic urethral sling mesh in one patient and fragmentation of a tempered stainless steel surgical needle in another.
