Power is not performance: Analysis of laser-use metrics from a randomised clinical trial comparing low- and high-power ureteroscopic lithotripsy. [PDF]
BJUI CompassAbstract 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 ...

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2009 Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is the process of fragmentation of renal or ureteric stones by the use of repetitive shock waves generated outside the body and focused onto the stone. Following its introduction in 1980, SWL revolutionized the treatment of kidney stones by offering patients a non-invasive procedure.
