[Comparison of Mosesᵀᴹ Mode and Conventional Laser in Transurethral Lithotripsy for Kidney Stones].

Transurethral lithotripsy (TUL) using holmium YAG laser has become the standard treatment for kidney stones. Mosesᵀᴹ technology, which delivers the laser with less energy loss, has been introduced and is reported to have advantages over regular laser in terms of shorter operation time and lithotripsy efficiency, but there are few reports from general hospitals. We retrospectively compared the perioperative and postoperative outcome, and complications of 28 cases of TUL using Mosesᵀᴹ mode performed from August 2021 to January 2023 at our hospital, and 25 cases of TUL using regular laser from August 2020 to July 2021.
