Thulium fiber laser lithotripsy: Is it living up to the hype?
Asian Journal of Urology, 2023 Objective: The holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser (Ho:YAG) has been the gold standard for laser lithotripsy over the last three decades. After demonstrating good in vitro efficacy, the thulium fiber laser (TFL) has been recently released in the ...

The Role of Cavitation in Energy Delivery and Stone Damage During Laser Lithotripsy
Journal of Endourology, 2021 Purpose: Although cavitation during laser lithotripsy (LL) contributes to the Moses effect, the impact of cavitation on stone damage is less clear. Using different laser settings, we investigate the role of cavitation bubbles in energy delivery and stone
