Strike rate: analysis of laser fiber to stone distance during different modes of laser lithotripsy.
Journal of endourology, 2020INTRODUCTION Different techniques of laser lithotripsy (fragmentation, dusting, and popcorning) are commonly employed during ureteroscopy. The efficiency of a single laser pulse is dependent on minimizing laser fiber-stone distance, yet it has not been ...

INTRODUCTION There are two main mechanisms of stone ablation: photothermal and thermomechanical. Which of them is primary in stone destruction is still a matter of discussion. Water holds importance in both mechanisms but plays a major role in the latter.

Focused Ultrasound and Lithotripsy
2016Shock wave lithotripsy has generally been a first choice for kidney stone removal. The shock wave lithotripter uses an order of microsecond pulse durations and up to a 100 MPa pressure spike triggered at approximately 0.5-2 Hz to fragment kidney stones through mechanical mechanisms. One important mechanism is cavitation. We proposed an alternative type

Intravascular Lithotripsy for Calcific Coronary and Peripheral Stenoses.
EuroIntervention, 2019Heavily calcified lesions may be difficult to adequately dilate with conventional balloons and stents causing frequent peri-procedural complications and higher rates of target lesion revascularization (TLR).

Emerging Technologies in Lithotripsy
Urologic Clinics of North America, 2019This comprehensive review updates the advances in extracorporeal lithotripsy, including improvements in external shockwave lithotripsy and innovations in ultrasound based lithotripsy, such as burst wave lithotripsy, ultrasonic propulsion, and histotripsy.

Laser lithotripsy is an excellent method of fragmenting those biliary stones that cannot be removed easily by less technically advanced methods such as basket extraction. The energy can be delivered through fine flexible fibers, around 200 to 320 microns in diameter, that can be passed through the channels of a variety of small endoscopes.
