Abstract: 
This Letter aims to make clear about the information reported in the paper "Complications from laser Endolift use: Case series and literature review," published in this journal (2023, 16(03), 023–041, DOI:https://doi.org/10.30574/wjbphs.2023.16.3.0496), where  authors present a series of complications concerning the use of very different laser devices with different wavelengths, beam profiles, and laser optical fibers without detailing these characteristics or attributing them to a specific manufacturer.
The Tables inserted in the Letter demonstrate the fake relationship between complications and “EndoliftÒ” by Lasermar 1500tm, as asserted by Fabio dos Santos Borges et al.
The paper considering "EndoliftÒ" complications as relative to a multitude of techniques made with "different laser" is misleading; quite the opposite it should distinguish between the outcomes of the official “EndoliftÒ” by Lasemar 1500tm laser protocols, and other systems, very different by technical and methodological points of view.
