Introduction: Previous studies have shown that the fractional carbon dioxide (fCO2) vaginal laser improves genitourinary symptoms of menopause. It has been proposed that fCO2 vaginal laser can also treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) by increasing collagen production. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of vaginal fCO2 laser therapy in patient complaining of SUI.
