Ejecta‐Modulated Bubble Dynamics Play a Dominant Role in Stone Retropulsion (Adv. Sci. 22/2026)

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 22, 17 April 2026.
Stone Retropulsion This cover highlights a paradigm shift in laser lithotripsy retropulsion. Although the MOSES effect guides laser energy through vapor bubbles to ablate stone material, asymmetric bubble collapse generates high‐momentum directional jets and vortical flows responsible for stone retropulsion, while ejecta plays a secondary role by ...

Comparison of lithotripsy methods during mini-PNL: is there a role for ballistic lithotripsy in the era of high-power lasers

BMC Urology
Background For renal stones > 20 mm, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) offers the best stone clearance rates with acceptable complication rates. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of high-power holmium YAG laser and ballistic lithotripsy during ...

Power is not performance: Analysis of laser‐use metrics from a randomised clinical trial comparing low‐ and high‐power ureteroscopic lithotripsy

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Objective Thulium fibre laser (TFL) offers a wide range of power settings during ureteroscopic (URS) lithotripsy, yet the impact of power selection on intraoperative laser‐use dynamics remains unclear. The objective of this study was to characterise differences in laser activation patterns between low‐power (LP) and high‐power (HP) TFL during ...

Active migration technique in RIRS for 1‐ to 2‐cm middle and upper ureteral stones in a prospective randomized controlled study

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to observe the efficacy and safety of the active migration technique and in situ lithotripsy technique in retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for patients with 1‐ to 2‐cm middle and upper ureteral stones. Patients and Methods Two hundred seven patients were enrolled in the study, of which 103 included in the study ...

Cholangiolithiasis postliver transplantation: Successful treatment utilizing percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy and laser lithotripsy

Radiology Case Reports, 2019
Liver transplant is a risk factor for the development of cholangiolithiasis and choledocholithiasis. While usually addressed by endoscopic techniques, percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy combined with laser lithotripsy can be considered a suitable ...
