Comparison of p‐Tm:YAG, TFL and Ho:YAG's in vitro ablation rates on synthetic and human stones

BJUI Compass, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Objective To compare in vitro the ablation rates of p‐Tm:YAG, TFL and Ho:YAG against synthetic and human stones. Material and Methods p‐Tm:YAG, TFL and Low‐Power (LP) Ho:YAG were compared using 270 μm core‐diameter laser fibres (CDF); experiments with 200 μm(p‐Tm:YAG) and 150 μm‐CDF (TFL) were also included.
