## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The feasibility of treating upper urinary tract tumors with a holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) laser in transurethral endoscopy was examined. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods Thirtyβthree treatments were performed on 30 patients with renal pelvic and ureteral ca
## Abstract This is the first North American report describing the use of the holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) laser to treat patients with superficial bladder carcinoma. Fifteen patients, with a total of 52 recurrent superficial bladder tumors, underwent endoscopic laser photoablation of their lesions. No int
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives To independently test previously reported findings of cyanide evolution under holmium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho:YAG) (holmium) lithotripsy of uric acid calculi, determine if this occurs with other forms of intracorporeal lithotripsy, and establish if this
## Abstract The characteristics of laser lithotripsy of biliary calculi are compared for a flashlamp pumped dye laser (Ξ» = 640 nm) and a Cr: Tm:HoβYAG laser (Ξ» = 2.1 ΞΌm). Data on fragmentation efficiency with respect to laser power and pulse repetition rate are presented for different types of ston
