RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

La tecnología LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) consiste en la emisión de un haz de luz de alta energía. En medicina, se emplea para cortar, coagular, fragmentar y evaporar tejidos biológicos o sintéticos. En el campo de la Urología Funcional y Uroginecología se ha explorado ampliamente su uso. Este artículo trata de dar una visión global de sus aplicaciones en esta subespecialidad. MATERIAL Y

MÉTODO:

Se realizó una búsqueda libre no sistemática en Pubmed, Embase y Google Scholar, combinando los términos "laser", "laser technology", "intersticial cystitis", "trigonitis", "urinary tract infections", "mesh", "mesh complications", "microbioma", "menopause genitourinary síndrome", "vulvovaginal atrophy", "urinary incontinence", "pelvic organ prolapse", "lichen esclerosus", "complications" y "vaginal laxity". Se recuperaron a texto completo todos los estudios relevantes, con el fin de confeccionar un resumen de cada una de las patologías en las que la terapia láser ha sido empleada en Urología Funcional y Uroginecología a lo largo del tiempo.

RESULTADOS:

Existen distintos tipos de láser y distintas modalidades de aplicación para tratar una amplia variedad de patologías funcionales, entre las que se encuentran la cistitis intersticial, la trigonitis, las complicaciones de las mallas, la incontinencia urinaria o el prolapso de órganos pélvicos. En algunas de ellas su uso se ha abandonado, a pesar de que, teóricamente, ofrecen ventajas respecto a otras terapias como en el caso de la cistitis intersticial. En otras todavía no hay suficiente evidencia en términos de seguridad y eficacia como para que supongan una alternativa a otros tratamientos convencionales.

CONCLUSIONES:

Aunque el láser ofrece ciertas ventajas respecto a otros tratamientos, su uso no se ha generalizado en la subespecialidad de Urología Funcional y Uroginecología. Se necesita mayor evidencia que demuestre su eficacia y seguridad
ABSTRACT
LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) technology consists of the emission of a high-energy light beam. In medicine, it is used to cut, coagulate, fragment and evaporate biological or synthetic tissues. In the field of Functional Urology and Urogynecology its use has been widely explored. This article tries to give an overview of its applications in this subspecialty. MATERIAL AND

METHOD:

A non-systematic free search was performed in Pubmed, Embase and Google Scholar, combining the terms "laser", "laser technology", "interstitial cystitis", "trigonitis", "urinary tract infections", "mesh", "mesh complications", "microbiome", "menopause genitourinary syndrome", "vulvovaginal atrophy", "urinary incontinence", "pelvic organ prolapse", "lichen sclerosus", "complications" and "vaginal laxity". All relevant studies were retrieved in full text, in order to prepare a summary of each of the pathologies in which laser therapy has been used in Functional Urology and Urogynecology over time.

RESULTS:

There are different types of lasers and different application modalities to treat a wide variety of functional pathologies, including interstitial cystitis, trigonitis, mesh complications, urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. In some of them its use has been abandoned, despite the fact that, theoretically, they offer advantages over other therapies, such as in the case of interstitial cystitis. In others there is still not enough evidence in terms of safety and efficacy to be an alternative to other conventional treatments.

CONCLUSIONS:

Although laser therapy offers certain advantages over other treatments, its use has not been generalized in the subspecialty of Functional Urology and Urogynecology. More evidence is needed to demonstrate its efficacy and safety
