[Ureteroscopic lithotripsy using the laser].
Annales d'urologie, 1997The Cagliari urology team is very satisfied with the use of the dye laser for ureteroscopic lithotripsy. This apparatus is recommended in units possessing a well equipped endourology room, otherwise it is simpler to use endoureteric ballistic lithotripsy, which also provides good results.

The application of lasers for use in the treatment of kidney stones is among the most important developments in the specialty of urology in the last 50 years. As kidney stone prevalence continues to rise from an estimated 5.2% in 1994 to 8.8% in 2012, the importance of the development and evolution of laser technology cannot be understated [1].

Lasers can be used as intracorporeal lithotriptors for urinary calculi. Laser lithotripsy generally involves one of two mechanisms: photoacoustic or photothermal lithotripsy. Photoacoustic lithotripsy produces large fragments but has difficulty in fragmenting calcium oxalate monohydrate, cystine, and brushite stones.

Vapor Channel Oscillations in Laser Lithotripsy
Lasers in Surgery and MedicineABSTRACTObjectivesLaser‐based endoscopic procedures present special challenges to deliver energy for ablation or coagulation of target tissues. When optical fiber–target quasi‐contact (< 0.5 mm distance) cannot be maintained or is undesirable, the creation of intervening vapor bubbles and channels provide for the necessary transmission of laser ...
