Does minimally invasive approach using vaginal laser therapy improve outcomes and remain safe for female with stress urinary incontinence? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Our study demonstrated that VLT led to a statistically significant improvement in ICIQ-UI SF, PISQ-12, and FSFI scores among patients undergoing the procedure. Additional research is needed to directly compare VLT with other therapeutic options, including urethral bulking agents and non-invasive approaches for SUI.
