Does Duty Cycle Modification Affect Temperature During Thulium Fiber Laser Lithotripsy?

open access: yesLasers in Surgery and Medicine, Volume 57, Issue 10, Page 821-826, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Although the thulium fiber laser (TFL, 1940 nm) efficiently fragments stones, concerns have been raised regarding heat production. Recently, a TFL with a modified duty cycle (MDC) was designed to reduce heat generation. The purpose of this study was to compare heat generation between the MDC and conventional TFL.

Who needs further evaluations to diagnose upper urinary tract urothelial cancers among patients with abnormal findings by enhanced CT?

open access: yesAsian Journal of Urology, 2016
Objective: We evaluated who would need further evaluations such as retrograde pyelography (RP) and/or ureteroscopy to diagnose upper urinary tract urothelial cancers (UUTUCs) when abnormal findings for the upper urinary tract (UUT) were detected by ...

The Pregnant Surgeon: Welcoming the Advanced Ergonomics of Robotic Surgery

open access: yesANZ Journal of Surgery, Volume 95, Issue 12, Page 2435-2439, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The detrimental effect of poor operative ergonomics in surgery cannot be underestimated. It's associated with negative outcomes such as increased burn‐out, fatigue, clinically relevant pain, and early retirement. Pregnancy creates additional challenges for female surgeons to prevent injury while adjusting to anthropometric changes that are ...
