High-power, High-frequency Ho:YAG Lasers Are Not Essential for Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery

Vincent De Coninck et al. Eur Urol Focus. 2021 Jan.

Abstract

There is currently insufficient in vivo evidence that high-power Ho:YAG lasers improve retrograde intrarenal surgery or the ablation efficacy. While prospective trials are awaited, a low-cost, silent, low-power Ho:YAG laser that requires only a standard electrical outlet is more than sufficient for retrograde intrarenal surgery.
