Nanofluid-Enhanced Laser Lithotripsy Using Conducting Polymer Nanoparticles. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Incorporating polymeric nanoparticles, PEDOT:PSS, with a high near‐infrared absorption coefficient into the fluid significantly enhances the dusting efficiency of Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy for kidney stone treatment. This approach, which leverages the control of light‐matter interactions, integrates seamlessly with the current laser lithotripsy workflow.

Does Duty Cycle Modification Affect Temperature During Thulium Fiber Laser Lithotripsy? [PDF]

Lasers Surg Med
ABSTRACT Objectives Although the thulium fiber laser (TFL, 1940 nm) efficiently fragments stones, concerns have been raised regarding heat production. Recently, a TFL with a modified duty cycle (MDC) was designed to reduce heat generation. The purpose of this study was to compare heat generation between the MDC and conventional TFL.

Renal pseudoaneurysm after holmium laser lithotripsy with flexible ureteroscopy: an unusual case report and literature review

Journal of International Medical Research, 2023
Pseudoaneurysms of the renal arteries are caused by focal rupture or perforation of the arterial wall, resulting in local bleeding. Such pseudoaneurysms can be observed in conditions such as nodular polyarteritis, penetrating or closed renal injury, and ...
