The clinical application of laser in urology has become possible after intensive experimental work. Because of necessary facilities and high costs connected with, the use of laser can be recommended for high specialised medical institutions. At the present time only Neodym-YAG- and Argon-laser meet all the urologic requirements. The CO2-laser is restricted for broad application. Actually tumours of the bladder, urethra, and penis are the fields for laser-application. Treatment of urethral strictures with laser-irradiation seems to be successful too. The photosensitization could being break-through in treatment of superficial tumours.
经过深入的实验研究后，激光在泌尿外科的临床应用成为可能。由于所需设备及与之相关的高昂成本，激光疗法建议在高度专业化的医疗机构使用。目前只有钕钇铝石榴石激光和氩激光能满足所有泌尿外科的要求。二氧化碳激光的广泛应用受到限制。实际上，膀胱、尿道和阴茎的肿瘤是激光应用的领域。用激光照射治疗尿道狭窄似乎也很成功。光致敏作用可能会在浅表肿瘤的治疗中取得突破。
