Urinary stone ablation with a thulium fibre laser: a rate-of-completion evaluation
I. A. Arbuzov,

Abstract:Introduction. The main disadvantage of using the rate of ablation of urinary stones as a parameter of thulium lithotripsy is the dependence of this parameter on the energy and frequency of laser pulses. Therefore, the results of measurements of this parameter by researchers differ significantly, since they were carried out at different values of the energy and pulse frequency, as well as at different values of the radiographic density of stones.Objective. To develop a universal indicator to assess the specific… Show more
