Soft Tissue Safety Assessment of Pulsed Solid‐State Thulium:YAG Versus Holmium:YAG Lasers: A Quantitative Porcine Model Simulation

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Laser lithotripsy carries an inevitable risk of collateral tissue injury. This study compared the safety profiles of pulsed Holmium:YAG and Thulium:YAG lasers by examining their effects on soft tissue under laser settings relevant to lithotripsy, using ex vivo porcine kidney models.

Initial Experience With Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Gallbladder Drainage Using Lumen‐apposing Metal Stents in Extremely Elderly and Frail Patients

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage (EUS‐GBD) using lumen‐apposing metal stents (LAMS) is a treatment option for acute cholecystitis in high‐risk surgical patients. However, data on extremely elderly and frail patients are limited. We report our initial experience with EUS‐GBD using electrocautery‐enhanced LAMS in this

Pneumatic Lithotripsy Versus Laser Lithotripsy for Ureteral Stones

Journal of Lasers in Medical Sciences, 2018
Introduction: Several different modalities are available for ureteral stone fragmentation. From them pneumatic and holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho: YAG) lithotripsy have supportive outcomes. In this study we studied 250 subjects who had ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) or laser lithotripsy (LL).

Clinical Utility and Safety of a Novel Ultraslim Catheter‐Type Peroral Cholangioscope/Pancreatoscope: A Single‐Center Case Series

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Peroral cholangioscopy (POCS) and peroral pancreatoscopy (POPS) enable direct intraductal visualization for pancreatobiliary disease diagnosis and management. Nonetheless, conventional devices have relatively large diameters, limiting their use in narrow ducts.
