A series of experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that the mechanism of holmium:YAG lithotripsy is photothermal.To show that holmium:YAG lithotripsy requires direct absorption of optical energy, stone loss was compared for 150 J Ho:YAG li

Background and Objective Evidence is presented that the fragmentation process of long-pulse Holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) lithotripsy is governed by photothermal decomposition of the calculi rather than photomechanical or photoacoustical mechanisms as is wide

Objectives. To test the hypothesis that holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) lithotripsy efficiency varies with stone composition. Methods. Single pulses of holmium:YAG energy were delivered using 272-, 365-, 550-, and 940-μm optical fibers to huma

We test the hypothesis that holmium:YAG lithotripsy efficiency varies with optical fiber size and energy settings (energy density).The 272, 365, 550 and 940 microm. optical fibers delivered 1 kJ. total holmium:YAG energy to calcium oxalate monohydrat

Purpose: Holmium:YAG lithotripsy fragments stones through a photothermal mechanism. Uric acid when heated is known to be converted into cyanide. We test the hypothesis that holmium:YAG lithotripsy of uric acid calculi produces cyanide.Materials and M

The mechanism of lithotripsy differs among electrohydraulic lithotripsy, mechanical lithotripsy, pulsed dye lasers and holmium:YAG lithotripsy. It is postulated that fragment size from each of these lithotrites might also differ. This study tests the

Because of the >= 250 microsecond(s) pulsewidth emitted by the Ho:YAG laser used in clinical lithotripsy, it is unlikely that stress confinement occurs within the irradiated stones. Experimental data supports a thermal mechanism for Ho:YAG laser ston

The Ho:YAG laser commonly used for clinical lithotripsy of urinary stones typically emits 250-microsecond pulses at a wavelength of 2.12 micrometer and repetition rates of up to 10 Hz. This pulse duration is longer than the time required for a pressu
