Thulium Fiber Laser lithotripsy [PDF]

, 2013
The Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) has been studied as a potential alternative to the conventional Holmium:YAG laser (Ho:YAG) for the treatment of kidney stones. The TFL is more ideally suited for laser lithotripsy because of the higher absorption coefficient

comparative study to evaluate safety and efficacy of pneumatic versus laser lithotripsy in pediatric mini-percutaneous nephrolithotripsy

Minia Journal of Medical Research
Introduction In an effort to lessen the risk of complications during surgery, mini-PCNL—a diminutive version of the traditional PCNL—was developed. When planning a standard or mini-PCNL, the lithotripter is just as crucial as the operating duration ...
