“…With that, an endoscope-based safety feature can be envisioned in combination with a suitable color tracking algorithm. In case of the stone or the fiber out of sight or for instance inside the working channel there is a risk to hit operation tools, which could be avoided by activation of an emergency alarm [34]. Innovations in laser development resulted in the introduction of high power Ho:YAG lasers on the market, providing an average power around 100W, which can be very efficient in stone destruction [35][36][37].…”

The fragmentation efficiency on Bego artificial stones during lithotripsy and the propulsive effect (via video tracking) was investigated for a variety of laser settings. A variation of the laser settings (pulse energy, pulse duration, repetition rate) altered the total application time required for stone fragmentation, the stone break up time, and the propulsion. The obtained results can be used to develop lithotripsy devices providing an optimal combination of low stone propulsion and high fragmentation efficacy, which can then be evaluated in a clinical setting. Additionally, the fluorescence of human kidney stones was inspected endoscopically in vivo. Fluorescence light can be used to detect stone-free areas or to clearly distinguish calculi from surrounding tissue or operation tools.

“…Dijital f-URS'lerin proksimal kılıf çapı 8.5-9.9F arasında değişirken, fiberoptik f-URS çapları 5.3-8.7F arasında değişmektedir (10). Bu durum akla dijital f-URS'lerde intrarenal manevra açısından bir dezavantaj olup olmayacağını (18,19). Bu sistem Gyrus-ACMI Invisio DUR-D ile kullanılabilmektedir.…”
