New Lasers for Stone Treatment

Olivier Traxer et al. Urol Clin North Am. 2022 Feb.

Abstract

Laser technology has been a breakthrough in urology. The new era in endocorporeal laser lithotripsy has recently begun in mid-2020, where promising technologies tested in vitro have reached their approval for clinical use and, in that way, have made it possible to confirm their safety and advantages in the real world, for the patient and for the urologist.

Keywords: Endourology; Laser lithotripsy; Technology; Thulium lasers; Urolithiasis.
