Introduction: Bladder stones constitute around 5% of bladder stones in the developed countries. Holmium laser lithotripsy has revolutionised the treatment of urinary lithiasis.
Aim: The aim of this study was to report the outcome of transurethral cystolithotripsy with Holmium Laser under Local Anaesthesia (LA) as a day care procedure in patients with bladder stones.
Materials And Methods: Patients with bladder stone greater than 1.5cm attending urology Outpatient Department underwent transurethral cystolithotripsy with Holmium Laser under LA as day care procedure. The results were analysed on aspects of peri-operative pain, completion of procedure, stone clearance, hospital stay, complications and patient compliance.
Results: A total of 85 patients with bladder stone ≥1.5cm underwent transurethral cystolithotripsy LA. The mean age of the patient was 52±7 years. There were 80 males. The mean size of stone was 3±1.2cm. Mean operation time was 40±10 minutes. Complete stone clearance was achieved in all the patients. None of the patients required hospital stay following the procedure.
Conclusion: Transurethral holmium laser lithotripsy is an effective and safe procedure for large bladder stones. This procedure can be easily performed as a day care procedure.

Introduction: microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs and promising cancer biomarkers. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing revolutionized prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostics and monitoring. However, PSA testing also contributes to PCa overdiagnoses that are detrimental on patients' health and may lead to overtreatment.

Objectives: To compare postoperative complication rates of patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) with patients without MetS after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients aged >40 years who underwent HoLEP at our institution from 2007 to 2022. Criteria for MetS were diagnoses of at least three of the following: diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, or obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m).

This systematic review aimed to compare postoperative pain in endodontic treatments using PIPS Er: YAG laser-activated irrigation (LAI) versus conventional needle irrigation. An electronic search was conducted to identify randomized clinical trials (RCT) investigating postoperative pain in patients who underwent root canal treatments in permanent teeth using PIPS Er: YAG laser-activated irrigation or conventional needle irrigation. Two reviewers performed study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment (RoB 2.
