Bubble Dynamics in Laser Lithotripsy [PDF]
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.

Safety and efficacy of transurethral laser lithotripsy and percutaneous laser lithotripsy in 41 dogs with lower urinary tract stones [PDF]
ObjectiveThe clinical application of transurethral laser lithotripsy (TUL) for lower urinary tract stone removal in dogs is constrained by factors such as body weight, stone size, and stone number.
