Comparison of p-Tm:YAG, TFL and Ho:YAG's in vitro ablation rates on synthetic and human stones. [PDF]

BJUI Compass
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.

Nanofluid-Enhanced Laser Lithotripsy Using Conducting Polymer Nanoparticles. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Incorporating polymeric nanoparticles, PEDOT:PSS, with a high near‐infrared absorption coefficient into the fluid significantly enhances the dusting efficiency of Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy for kidney stone treatment. This approach, which leverages the control of light‐matter interactions, integrates seamlessly with the current laser lithotripsy workflow.

Minimally invasive management of large seminal vesicle cyst in Zinner syndrome: Laser ablation for urinary retention

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In Zinner syndrome (ZS), surgical intervention is recommended for pediatric patients with symptomatic disease. It is generally believed that cyst aspiration alone may lead to symptom recurrence. Although comprehensive surgical excision is often advocated to prevent recurrence, a combined approach of cyst aspiration and maximal cyst ...

Erectile and ejaculatory outcomes after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate: A comprehensive narrative review

UroPrecision, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 3-13, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has emerged as a widely adopted surgical technique for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), regardless of prostate size; however, its impact on male sexual function—particularly in terms of erectile and ejaculatory outcomes—remains a subject of ongoing debate.
