Thulium fiber laser lithotripsy
SPIE Proceedings, 2009Complications during laser lithotripsy include optical fiber bending failure resulting in endoscope damage and low irrigation rates leading to poor visibility. Both problems are related to fiber diameter and limited by the Holmium:YAG laser (λ = 2120 nm) multimode beam profile.

Ureteral Foreign Body after Laser Lithotripsy
Journal of Endourology, 1994We report an unusual ureteral foreign body resulting from a complication of pulsed-dye laser lithotripsy: a retained laser fiber fragment. It was removed with two endoscopic procedures without long-term problems.

Ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy: technologic advancements
World Journal of Urology, 2014Ureteroscopic lithotripsy has evolved since the first reported cases employing rigid rod-lens endoscopes and stiff ultrasonic lithotrites. Fiber optics facilitated rigid endoscope miniaturization and the development of a steerable, deflectable flexible ureteroscopes.

[Ureteroscopic lithotripsy using the laser].
Annales d'urologie, 1997The Cagliari urology team is very satisfied with the use of the dye laser for ureteroscopic lithotripsy. This apparatus is recommended in units possessing a well equipped endourology room, otherwise it is simpler to use endoureteric ballistic lithotripsy, which also provides good results.

The application of lasers for use in the treatment of kidney stones is among the most important developments in the specialty of urology in the last 50 years. As kidney stone prevalence continues to rise from an estimated 5.2% in 1994 to 8.8% in 2012, the importance of the development and evolution of laser technology cannot be understated [1].

Laser Lithotripsy: Basic Physics
1990Extracorporeal shock-wave (ESWL) lithotripsy is a useful method for fragmentation of stones in the urinary tract. Its application can be extended to gallstone diseases, where it competes with other conventional techniques. A new technology is now emerging which uses a laser and fiber-optic devices for disaggregation of gallstones (Fig. 1).

Laser Lithotripsy: Clinical Applications
1990Since the early 1980s several teams have worked on the problem of fragmenting gallstones by laser [1–6]. The first successful endoscopic-retrograde laser fragmentation of a bile duct stone was reported in 1986 [7]. In the meantime, experiences by other teams in clinical laser lithotripsy of bile duct stones have been published [8–10] or reported on (N.

Techniques of Laser Lithotripsy
Journal of Endourology, 1988A tunable pulsed dye laser has been used for the treatment of 157 patients with renal and ureteral calculi. All calculi treated were too large to be extracted by ureteroscopy or were not appropriate candidates for ESWL. In 106 cases, the stone was completely fragmented with the laser. The laser was used in combination with ESWL in 34 cases.
