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 ...

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.

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 ...

Laser Lithotripsy

AORN Journal, 1993
The high cost of laser equipment and the required specialization of staff members make extension of laser lithotripsy to every hospital impractical. At present, in Ontario, laser lithotripsy is available only in Toronto and Kingston, and ESWL is available only in Toronto and London.

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.

Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy and Laser Lithotripsy

2017
Mechanical lithotripsy is usually employed for the fragmentation of large common bile duct (CBD) stones. However, refractory CBD stones, stones larger than 2 cm in size, those firmly impacted, those located above a bile duct stricture, and those located in the intrahepatic bile duct, or cases of Mirizzi syndrome are difficult to treat.

Lasers for lithotripsy

SPIE Proceedings, 2008
Laser-assisted lithotripsy is a minimally-invasive method for destroying or disruption of human urinary stones. For this purpose laser light delivered through the flexible sealed waveguide or fibre could be utilized. On the output end of the delivery system the laser ligth is focused onto the surface of urinary stones with various size and various ...
