Purpose Of Review: Bladder stones account for 5% of all urinary tract calculi. Contributing factors include bladder outflow obstruction, infections, foreign bodies, or neurogenic voiding dysfunction. This necessitates an effective treatment modality, and with advances in medical technology, minimally invasive techniques using lasers are being widely adopted.

Background: Ablative fractional photothermolysis serves as an excellent in vivo model for studying wound healing. The advent of non-invasive imaging devices, such as line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT), enhances this model by enabling detailed monitoring of skin wound healing over time. Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms are revolutionizing the evaluation of clinical images by providing detailed analyses that are unfeasible manually.

A female patient with previous vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane in the left eye underwent bilateral selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for pigmentary glaucoma and subsequently developed cystoid macular oedema (CMO) in the vitrectomised eye. This resolved fully with treatment with topical steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) drops. This complication has been very rarely reported in the literature, and a subsequent internal audit found a very low rate of CMO temporally related to SLT of 0.

The state of the skin is under stress after laser treatment, and it is beneficial to utilize topical agents to assist with optimal healing and cosmetic outcomes. Currently, such post-laser-cosmeceutical synergies are being investigated.

Inhibiting bacterial growth and promoting angiogenesis are essential for enhancing wound healing in diabetic patients. Excessive oxidative stress at the wound site can also lead to an accumulation of reactive oxygen species. To address these challenges, a smart thermosensitive hydrogel loaded with therapeutic agents was developed.
