Strict laser safety guidelines reflect an overestimated risk associated with using holmium laser in operating theatres. Laser safety regulations should be re-evaluated to align with current research and potential hazards inherent to the device. In doing so, a more effective distribution of staff could enable greater access to laser surgery, thereby reducing patient morbidity and hospital wait times.
