Laser technology has been applied to intracorporeal lithotripsy for ureteral calculi at several different wavelengths. The most successful of these is the Alexandrite. Development through animal studies, FDA approval, and current use is examined. After 22 months and a study encompassing I 75 procedures the device has demonstrated efficacy equal to or surpassing other laser and nonlaser methods with equal or greater safety to adjacent soft tissue structures.
