Moses and Moses 2.0 for Laser Lithotripsy: Expectations vs. Reality
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022 Moses technology was born with the aim of controlling the Moses effect present in every single Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy. The capacity to divide the energy pulse into two sub-pulses gained popularity due to the fact that most of the energy would be ...

The Role of Cavitation in Energy Delivery and Stone Damage During Laser Lithotripsy
Journal of endourology, 2021 Purpose: Although cavitation during laser lithotripsy (LL) contributes to the Moses effect, the impact of cavitation on stone damage is less clear. Using different laser settings, we investigate the role of cavitation bubbles in energy delivery and stone

Feasibility and long-term safety of Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy in broncholithiasis patients
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021 Background Treatment of broncholithiasis is complex, especially in the case of a large or transbronchial broncholith. Holmium-yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho:YAG) laser lithotripsy may be a useful treatment in broncholithiasis; however, as it is not yet ...

Urinary stone ablation with a thulium fibre laser: a rate-of-completion evaluation
Вестник урологии, 2023 Introduction. The main disadvantage of using the rate of ablation of urinary stones as a parameter of thulium lithotripsy is the dependence of this parameter on the energy and frequency of laser pulses.

Cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy in the treatment of difficult bile ducts stones – Bulgarian and Egyptian experience [PDF]
Folia Medica, 2023 Introduction: Up to 10% of bile duct stones are deemed ‘difficult’ because they cannot be extracted using standard endoscopic techniques. In these situations, cholangioscopy allows for stone fragmentation under direct visual control.
