Objective The aim of this study was to investigate temperature profiles in both the renal pelvis and parenchyma during Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) and Holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser activation in an ex-vivo porcine model. Methods Three porcine kidneys with intact renal pelvis and proximal ureters were used in the study. A temperature sensor was inserted through a nephrostomy tube into the renal pelvis and a second sensor was inserted directly into the renal parenchyma. Temperatures were recorded during continuous laser activation for 180 s, and for an additional 60 s after deactivation. TFL (150 μm and 200 μm) and Ho:YAG (270 μm) laser delivered power at settings of 2.4 W, 8 W, 20 W and 30 W. Results Intrapelvic temperatures correlated directly to power settings. Higher power produced higher temperatures. For example, using a 150 μm fiber at 2.4 W resulted in a 2.6 °C rise from baseline (p = 0.008), whereas using the same fiber at 20 W produced a rise in temperature of 19.9 °C (p = 0.02). Larger laser fibers caused significantly higher temperatures compared to smaller fibers using equivalent power settings, e.g. mean temperature at 20 W using 150 μm was 39.6 °C compared to 44.9 °C using 200 μm, p |
