Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of different holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser modes for lithotripsy in the "dusting era" and identify the optimal laser mode for producing stone fragments measuring ≤0.5 mm.
Methods: We used plaster of Paris-made artificial stones crushed into 2-3 mm pieces, weighing 1 g in total.

We aim to evaluate stone-free rate (SFR) and complications after flexible ureteroscopy (F-URS) for kidney stones, using a flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS), comparing thulium fiber laser (TFL) and high-power holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (HPHL). Data from adults who underwent F-URS in 15 centers were prospectively analyzed (August 2023-January 2024). Exclusion criteria were ureteral stones, concomitant bilateral procedures, and renal abnormalities.

Article Synopsis
- - This clinical study compares the effectiveness and safety of two lasers, the holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (HO:YAG) and the superpulse thulium fiber laser (SP TFL), in treating kidney stones via ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy.
- - Patients will be randomly assigned to receive treatment with either laser, with outcomes measured for stone elimination and various surgical performance indicators 30 days post-operation.
- - The study is registered under ChiCTR2300076893 and aims to provide insights on whether the newer SP TFL can serve as a better alternative to the established HO:YAG laser.

Background And Objective: Ureteral stones are currently treated with holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser lithotripsy using rigid and flexible ureteroscopes. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of semirigid ureteroscopy combined with Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy for treating proximal ureteral stones in real-world studies.
Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched systematically to retrieve all relevant studies up to April 2024.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the safety of FURL (fiber-enabled ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy) using 365 μm fibers and Ho: YAG laser over a 16-week period, focusing on clinical outcomes and risks.
- A total of 274 patients showed a high stone-free rate (SFR) linked to stone size and composition, with no severe complications observed post-procedure.
- Urosepsis occurred in only 1.82% of patients, and critical infection-related lab values remained stable, indicating that kidney function was preserved throughout the follow-up period.
