Thulium fiber laser (TFL) lithotripsy has recently been introduced for clinical use. Previous TFL laboratory studies demonstrated high-power delivery through small (50- to 150-μm core) optical fibers. This preliminary study simulates forces on fiber

Laser lithotripsy is performed in a hospital operating room at high cost. Many lower ureter stones could potentially be treated in a less expensive, office-based procedure, if smaller ureteroscopes were available. Thulium fiber laser lithotripsy enab

Significance: Water is a primary absorber of infrared (IR) laser energy, and urinary stones are immersed in fluid in the urinary tract and irrigated with saline during IR laser lithotripsy. Laser-induced vapor bubbles, formed during lithotripsy, cont
