MPOX is an orthopoxvirus whose infection has been declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in 2022 and 2024. It proved to be a virus with markedly heterogeneous and varied clinical presentation. We performed a systematic PubMed review of articles reporting cases of different clinical manifestations of MPOX until October 2024.

- - Monkeypox (MPOX) recently experienced a resurgence, leading the WHO to declare a public health emergency, but there's limited knowledge on its long-term effects, especially scarring.
- - A study focused on assessing scarring risk and characteristics in patients at a tertiary hospital, following up with 40 diagnosed individuals over 12-15 months after infection.
- - Findings showed that nearly 48% of patients developed scars, impacting their quality of life, particularly in sensitive areas; the small sample size and follow-up issues could influence the reliability of these findings.
The use of laser applications in urology has undergone significant advances and is now used in a wide variety of procedures. Improvements in types of lasers, the wavelength of energy used, optical fiber delivery systems, precision of laser applications and cost reduction have served to further improve laser technology and extend the potential applications. The different types of lasers available at the present time appear to be an alternative treatment modality with excellent cosmetic and functional results and low morbidity in the treatment of benign, pre-malignant and malignant lesions in the genital area.
