“…Recently, the pulsed Thulium:YAG laser has been proposed as a further alternative to the Ho:YAG, with promising stone dusting proprieties ( 23 ). Two clinical studies are available to date and reveal the pTm:YAG as an efficient and safe laser for lithotripsy ( 24 , 25 ).…”

Ureteroscopy has become an increasingly popular surgical intervention for conditions such as urinary stone disease. As new technologies and techniques become available, debate regarding their proper use has risen. This includes the role of single use ureteroscopes, optimal laser for stone lithotripsy, basketing versus dusting, the impact of ureteral access sheath, the need for safety guidewire, fluoroscopy free URS, imaging and follow up practices are all areas which have generated a lot of debate. This review serves to evaluate each of these issues and provide a balanced conclusion to guide the clinician in their practice.

“…Overall energy consumption was 22 J/mg (95% CI 18-27), translating to 39 J/mm 3 (95% CI 32-47). For COM, this was 20 J/mg (95% CI [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], translating to 41 J/mm 3 (95% CI 32-51), and for UA 24 J/mg (95% CI [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], translating to 37 J/mm 3 (95% CI 25-50). Comparisons of estimated energy consumption for each laser setting and stone type are summarized in Table 2, Fig.…”

“…highly attractive for microsurgical procedures and material processing [4,5]. In particular, high-repetition-rate 2 µm pulsed lasers with high peak power are advantageous for hard tissue ablation [6,7] and can also improve the efficiency of stone fragmentation and dusting during lithotripsy [8].…”

A high-energy, high-peak-power Q-switched Tm:YAG laser at 2.02 μm with a tunable repetition rate from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz and pulse duration in the hundreds of nanoseconds is demonstrated. The high energy output was achieved by employing a thermally stable linear cavity, including two compact laser diode continuous-wave side-pumped Tm:YAG laser modules. For Q-switched operation, stable Q-switched performance from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz was realized at near-room temperature. At a repetition rate of 100 Hz, the laser delivered a maximum pulse energy of 215 mJ with a pulse duration of 124.4 ns, resulting in a peak power of up to 1.73 MW. When the repetition rate was tuned to 200 Hz, 500 Hz, and 1000 Hz, pulse energies of 212 mJ, 125.6 mJ, and 68.2 mJ were obtained, with pulse durations of 133.6 ns, 176.3 ns, and 262 ns, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, these results represent the highest single pulse energies and peak powers ever accomplished for a diode-pumped Q-switched Tm-doped 2 μm laser operating at high repetition rates exceeding 100 Hz.
