Lba01-16 comparative Analyses and Ablation Efficacy of Thulium Fiber Laser by Stone Composition

Abstract

perceived the Moses setting in 57.7% of cases compared to 48.6% of cases without Moses. After using Moses, surgeons experienced less mental burden, physical burden, temporal demand, frustration, and less required effort. Perception of operative performance was higher when using the Moses setting. These findings remained significant on multivariable analysis.CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences were seen in total operative time, ureteroscopy time nor stone-free rate. However, use of Moses settings remained a significant predictor across NASA task load domains after controlling for factors that increase surgeon workload during ureteroscopy.

Editorial Comment

“…Short, medium, and long pulse duration modes have inversely lower peak powers, respectively, to provide the same pulse energy. The authors report that TFL ablation efficiency in their experiments was greatest in the short-pulse mode vs medium- or long-pulse modes, 1 ie, at any given pulse energy increased peak power was associated with increased ablation efficiency. 2…”
