“…Operation time and hospitalization time were decreased, and there were no significant complications. 36 In a case report published by Razzaghi et al, the use of Ho: YAG laser ureteroscopic lithotripsy in a patient with ectopic malrotated kidney was discussed, and Ho: YAG laser lithotripsy was effective and safe in this patient. 37 In a randomized clinical trial done in 2013 by Razzaghi et al on 112 subjects, pneumatic lithotripters and holmium laser were compared in the treatment of ureteral stones.…”

The usage of laser in medicine is not recent, and its history in urology goes back to 40 years ago. For the last 2 decades, common uses of laser have been treatments of subjects with urolithiasis, bladder tumors, benign prostatic enlargement, le sions of the genitalia and urinary tract strictures. To evaluate laser application in urology in Iran, we reviewed all of the Iranian literature on the topic. This study was designed to retrieve all studies on laser application in urology in Iran, regardless of publication status or language, covering years 1990-2017. Twentysix articles were identified: 12 about urolithiasis, 8 about benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 2 case reports, 1 paper about prostate cancer, 1 on female urethral stricture, 1 review and 1 basic sciences study. We conclude that the use of this technology has not yet found its position in Iran, especially in the field of urology. The main causes for it are the difficult accessibility and disturb of laser devices and its accessories, as well as the lack of adequate knowledge of the medical community about this modality.

“…The rapid implosion of the bubble at the tip of the fiber creates a shock wave which breaks the stones. 11 In this study we studied 250 patients who had ureteroscopic PL or LL from 2010 to 2016 in order to compare the safety and efficacy of the two methods.…”

versus laser lithotripsy for ureteral stones. AbstractIntroduction: Several different modalities are available for ureteral stone fragmentation. From them pneumatic and holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho: YAG) lithotripsy have supportive outcomes. In this study we studied 250 subjects who had ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) or laser lithotripsy (LL). Methods: Two-hundred fifty patients with ureteral stones underwent ureteroscopic lithotripsy (115 subjects in the PL group, 135 subjects in the LL group) from August 2010 to April 2016. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate stone-free rate (SFR), mean operation time (MOT), mean hospital stay (MHS), stone migration and complications. Results: Two groups were similar in age, gender, mean size of stones, side of stone, and complications. There was a statistical difference in terms of SFR, stone migration and MHS in favor of the LL group (P ≤ 0.05, P ≤ 0.05 respectively), and MOT in favor of the PL group (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: Both the PL and LL techniques were effective and safe for ureteral stones, however a slightly higher SFR was found in the LL group.

“…Therefore, unwanted upward migration of calculi or fragments is minimized. 5 Thus, its efficacy in stone fragmentation and clearance is not dependent on stone composition. …”

“…4 There are a variety of modalities for stone fragmentation, including ultrasonic, electrohydraulic, pneumatic and laser lithotripters. 5 Nowadays, the holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser is used for different urologic surgeries, including management of urinary calculi and soft tissue lesions. 6 Compared with other equipments, the laser has a lower complication rate.…”

Evaluation of 200 Mm, 365 Mm and 500 Mm Fibers of Ho:YAG Laser in Transurethral Lithotripsy of Ureteral: A Randomize Control Trial

Results: MOT and SFR were significantly different in 500 Mm laser caliber (P = 0.046, P = 0.029, respectively). There was no remarkable difference between the three groups in this regard. Conclusion: Based upon our data, the clinical potency of the Ho: YAG laser was great in all three fiber calibers. The most important results of this comparison were the significantly higher SFR with increased laser caliber.
