Interventions

  • Thulio pulsed Thulium:YAG (p-Tm:YAG) — DEVICE
    A new laser system developed by Dornier, the Thulio pulsed Thulium:YAG (p-Tm:YAG ) is beginning to be studied in vitro and in vivo. Dornier Thulio p-Tm:YAG may represent an attractive new laser platform, with comparable properties to TFL including decreased retropulsion, smaller dust, and improved ablation efficiency relative to Ho:YAG.
  • Thulium Laser Fiber (TFL) — DEVICE
    The thulium fiber laser (TFL) has demonstrated effectiveness in this procedure

Study Details

This research study is being conducted to assess the ability and efficiency of two laser systems to break up kidney stones during ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy for kidney stone treatment.
