  • The most common type of urinary incontinence in women is stress urinary incontinence (SUI) which negatively impacts several aspects of life. The newly introduced vaginal laser therapy is being considered for treating SUI. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of vaginal laser therapy for stress urinary incontinence in menopausal women. We searched the following databases: MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane Library databases, Web of Science, clinical trial registry platforms, and Google Scholar, using the MeSH terms and keywords [Urinary Incontinence, Stress] and [(lasers) OR laser]. In our systematic review, prospective randomized clinical studies on women diagnosed with SUI as per the International Continence Society’s diagnostic criteria were included. The Cochrane Risk-of-Bias assessment tool for randomized clinical trials was used to evaluate the quality of studies. A total of 256 relevant records in literature databases and registers and 25 in additional searches were found. Following a review of the titles, abstracts, and full texts, four studies involving 431 patients were included. Three studies used CO2-lasers, and one used Erbium: YAG-laser. The results of all four studies revealed the short-term improvement of SUI following both the Erbium: YAG-laser and CO2-laser therapy. SUI treatment with CO2-laser and Erbium: YAG-laser therapy is a quick, intuitive, well-tolerated procedure that successfully improves incontinence-related symptoms. The long-term impact of such interventions has not been well established as most trials focused on the short-term effects.
