Bubble Dynamics in Laser Lithotripsy [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015 Laser lithotripsy is a medical procedure for fragmentation of urinary stones with a fiber guided laser pulse of several hundred microseconds long. Using high-speed photography, we present an in-vitro study of bubble dynamics and stone motion induced by Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy.

Pneumatic Lithotripsy Versus Laser Lithotripsy for Ureteral Stones
Journal of Lasers in Medical Sciences, 2018 Introduction: Several different modalities are available for ureteral stone fragmentation. From them pneumatic and holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho: YAG) lithotripsy have supportive outcomes. In this study we studied 250 subjects who had ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) or laser lithotripsy (LL).
