Laser lithotripsy

Current Opinion in Urology, 2002
All literature related to laser lithotripsy published within the past year was reviewed. Salient articles have been reviewed and grouped according to safety issues, efficacy, comparison studies, biliary applications or future directions.There is no evidence of renal deterioration after holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet lithotripsy.

Laser lithotripsy

AORN Journal, 2019
The article describes the diverse methods of stone destruction in urolithiasis patients, including laser lithotripsy as the least traumatic and most efficient method of demolition of all types of urinary stones. Different types of lasers for intracorporeal lithotripsy have different mechanisms of stone fragmentation depending on the type of laser and ...

Pulsed lasers and endocorporeal laser lithotripsy

Progrès en Urologie, 2021
Endocorporeal laser lithotripsy (ELL) is currently the gold standard for the treatment of renal stones during retrograde intra-renal surgery (RIRS). The newly-authorised thulium fibre laser (Tm-Fibre) in now evaluated as a holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser alternative, which is the most well-known laser source for ELL.

Laser Lithotripsy and Cyanide

Journal of Endourology, 2000
Holmium:YAG lithotripsy of uric acid calculi produces cyanide. The laser and stone parameters required to produce cyanide are poorly defined. In this study, we tested the hypotheses that cyanide production: (1) varies with holmium:YAG power settings; (2) varies among holmium:YAG, pulsed-dye, and alexandrite lasers; and (3) occurs during holmium:YAG ...

Intracorporeal Lithotripsy With the Holmium:YAG Laser

Journal of Urology, 1995
Preliminary evaluations of the holmium:YAG laser have demonstrated a variety of potential urological applications, including ablation of soft tissue lesions as well as stone fragmentation. We present our experience with the holmium:YAG laser for intracorporeal lithotripsy of urinary calculi.During a 24-month period 75 patients underwent 79 laser ...

Biliary Laser Lithotripsy

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1992
Laser lithotripsy is an excellent method of fragmenting those biliary stones that cannot be removed easily by less technically advanced methods such as basket extraction. The energy can be delivered through fine flexible fibers, around 200 to 320 microns in diameter, that can be passed through the channels of a variety of small endoscopes.

Intracorporeal lithotripsy with the Alexandrite laser

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1997
The objective of this study was to evaluate clinical use of an Alexandrite laser lithotripter for intracorporeal lithotripsy of urinary calculi.We prospectively evaluated a flash lamp pumped, Q-switched Alexandrite solid-state laser for use in conjunction with ureteroscopy (30 cases) or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (2 cases).

In vitro Lithotripsy with the Alexandrite Laser

European Urology, 1992
The Alexandrite laser system has proven to be an effective and safe method of ureteral lithotripsy. Some authors have recently reported the risk of interspersion of fiber splinters into tissue during lithotripsy, when short pulses and high power densities are employed.
