    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Endoscopic Surgery
    • Laser Technology

    Background:

    • Ureteric stricture (UC) presents a significant challenge in urological practice.
    • Endoscopic treatment options are continually being explored to improve patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the efficacy of Holmium and diode laser energy in treating ureteric strictures.
    • To evaluate the success rates and treatment sessions required for laser therapy in UC.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patients treated for ureteric stricture (UC).
    • Application of Holmium laser (55% of patients) and diode laser (45% of patients) energy.
    • Assessment of treatment outcomes based on the number of sessions and time to positive results.

    Main Results:

    • Positive treatment results were achieved in 37 (77%) patients after one session.
    • An additional session was required for 4 (8.3%) patients within 3 months.
    • Two additional sessions were needed for 3 (6.3%) patients.
    • Overall, 91.6% of patients experienced positive outcomes from laser treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Laser energy application is an effective treatment modality for ureteric strictures.
    • The efficacy of laser treatment is independent of the specific laser energy type used (Holmium or diode).
    • Laser therapy represents a promising endoscopic treatment option for patients with ureteric strictures.
