In vitro Lithotripsy with the Alexandrite Laser
European Urology, 1992The 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.

Endoscopic lithotripsy with the holmium:YAG laser
Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1999The holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) laser can be used not only for soft tissue but also for hard tissue such as urinary calculi. The objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of the Ho:YAG laser for endoscopic lithotripsy in patients with urinary tract stone.

CONTEXT Thulium fiber laser (TFL) emerged as a competitor of holmium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho:YAG) laser for the treatment of urinary stones. OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy between Ho:YAG and TFL for laser lithotripsy of renal and ureteral stones.

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.

Pulsed Thulium:YAG Laser for Lithotripsy
European Urology FocusPulsed thulium:YAG (p-Tm:YAG) laser is a novel technology for lithotripsy that seems to be positioned favorably in the middle ground between Ho:YAG laser and thulium fiber laser. This mini review summarizes current evidence regarding p-Tm:YAG physical properties, laboratory results, and clinical outcomes.

The surgical treatment of choledocholithiasis has traditionally relied on the exploration of the common bile duct. The advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy now permits the surgeon direct access to the common bile duct. Currently, one fourth to one third of all cholecystectomies are performed through the laparoscope.

This chapter provides an in-depth summary of the application of the holmium:YAG laser in ureteroscopy. First, the basic physics of laser lithotripsy is reviewed. Laser generators and the peculiarities of laser fibers are then discussed, with a special focus on their application in flexible ureteroscopy.

Techniques of Laser Lithotripsy
Journal of Endourology, 1988A tunable pulsed dye laser has been used for the treatment of 157 patients with renal and ureteral calculi. All calculi treated were too large to be extracted by ureteroscopy or were not appropriate candidates for ESWL. In 106 cases, the stone was completely fragmented with the laser. The laser was used in combination with ESWL in 34 cases.
