Purpose To compare the operating modes of the Holmium: YAG laser and Thulium fiber
laser. Additionally, currently available literature on Thulium fiber laser lithotripsy is reviewed …

Abstract Purpose of Review Laser lithotripsy is increasingly used worldwide and is a
continuously evolving field with new and extensive research being published every year …

The flashlamp-pumped, solid-state, pulsed, mid-infrared, holmium: YAG laser (λ= 2120 nm)
has been the clinical gold standard laser for lithotripsy for over the past two decades …

Purpose: There is no clear evidence that high-power (HP) laser generators perform better
than low-power (LP) ones in terms of lithotripsy outcomes. We aimed to perform a systematic …

Objectives The experimental Thulium fiber laser (TFL) is currently being studied as a
potential alternative to the gold standard Holmium: YAG laser for lithotripsy. Recent …

Introduction: One of the main limitations of Ho: YAG lithotripsy is represented by its
advancement speed. The need for faster lithotripsy has led to the introduction of high-power …

Abstract Introduction: The Moses technology for the Ho: YAG laser introduces a pulse-shape
modulation that optimizes energy delivery through water and can be utilized for lithotripsy at …

Ureteroscopy and laser stone fragmentation (URSL) has had recent advancements with the
more powerful laser systems with the ability to 'dust'and 'pop-dust'the stone. We wanted to …

Introduction: There are limited data on how stone factors relate to flexible ureteroscopy (f-
URS) laser lithotripsy efficiency and outcomes when using the Moses Technology Ho: YAG …

Introduction: Characterizing patterns of laser activation is important for assessing thermal
dose during laser lithotripsy. The objective of this study was twofold: first, to quantify the …
