Exploring optimal settings for safe and effective thulium fibre laser lithotripsy in a kidney model.
Journal Article BJU Int · February 2024 OBJECTIVES: To explore the optimal laser settings and treatment strategies for thulium fibre laser (TFL) lithotripsy, namely, those with the highest treatment efficiency, lowest thermal injury risk, and shortest procedure time. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An in ... Full text Open Access Link to item CiteShock waves generated by toroidal bubble collapse are imperative for kidney stone dusting during Holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy.
Journal Article Ultrasonics sonochemistry · December 2023 Holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser lithotripsy (LL) has been the treatment of choice for kidney stone disease for more than two decades, yet the mechanisms of action are not completely clear. Besides photothermal ablation, recent evidence sugge ...
