## Abstract The long‐pulse (200–350 ΞΌs) Holmium: YAG (Ho: YAG) laser (Ξ» = 2.12 ΞΌm) is used extensively in urology for laser lithotripsy. The long‐pulse Erbium: YAG (Er: YAG) laser (Ξ» = 2.94 ΞΌm) fragments urinary calculi up to 5 times more efficiently than the Ho: YAG laser, however, no optical fibe
