para('Urethral stricture is a complicated urological problem that involves the constriction of the urethra, which is usually caused by fibrosis, trauma or infection. The medical concern has existed since ancient times and can be traced in both Egyptian and Greek literature (Maged, Gamal and Tawfeles, 2021). The treatment of urethral strictures has developed, and different methods are under investigation, such as urethral dilation, an internal urethrotomy, laser urethrotomy, and urethroplasty (Abuelnaga, Saad and Elzayat, 2024). Among them, the most prevalent optical methods of internal urethrotomy are the Holmium:YAG laser and cold knife. Both Holmium:YAG laser (HIU) and Cold Knife Optical Internal Urethrotomy (CIU) are minimally invasive techniques that are applied to treat urethral strictures. It has been demonstrated that the two methods are effective in enhancing the positive effects of postoperative outcomes like maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) and decreasing the recurrence rate (Chi et al., 2024; Gamal et al., 2021; Ahmed et al., 2023). Nonetheless, their efficacy as well as safety profiles differ. As an example, the HIU is also linked to a reduced risk of bleeding and lowered recurrence within 12 months after surgery than CIU (Chi et al., 2024; Akdemir, Okulu and Kayigil, 2023). On the other hand, it has been reported that CIU has a shorter operative period, especially in short-segment strictures (Chi et al., 2024; Gamal et al., 2021). However, even with such results, there is still controversy and inconclusive evidence on which method is better than the other. Certain articles indicate that the laser procedure has more successful results in the long run, whereas the others focus on the performance and reduced complications of the cold knife procedure (Elgharbawy et al., 2020; Chen et al., 2024; Karbalaie, 2021). The current controversy highlights the necessity to conduct more research to determine autocratic rules in urethral stricture management.'),

In case the Holmium:YAG laser proves to have reduced recurrence and complication rates, there might be revisions in the protocols and facilitation of using laser urethrotomy as a first choice on appropriate cases. Proving to be shorter in the operating rooms and less complications can help justify efficient usage of operations rooms resources and minimized length of stay, which is beneficial to the healthcare systems.
