To date, there are two fairly well-established alternatives for laserinduced shock-wave lithotripsy in clinical practice. The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is distinguished by the high-stone selectivity of its coupler systems. The necessity of a coupler system and its fairly small conversion rate of light

## Abstract With the advent of minimal access biliary procedures there is a need for a safe intracorporal lithotripsy technique that can be used through small flexible endoscopes. Currently, the two techniques available are electrohydraulic lithotripsy and laser induced shock wave lithotripsy. In t
## Abstract ## Background and Objective The role of pulsed dye laser (PDL) in the treatment of childhood hemangiomas is still controversial because of the inherent characteristics of hemangiomas as well as the side effects of the PDL. Recently, the long pulsed dye laser (LPDL) with cryogen spray c
## Background and Objectives: In a preclinical study we have tested both in vitro and in vivo, a new type of pulsed solid-state laser system that has not been applied in urology so far and has been developed for optimized intracorporal lithotripsy of biliary, salivary, and urinary calculi. Study De
## Background and Objective: We report two cases of hemangiomas in twins born at a gestational age of 30 weeks who were treated with a flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser (FPDL) at 40 days postpartem. These were the youngest patients to our knowledge to be treated with FPDL. Study Design/Patients an
The 577-nm flashlamp-pumped tunable dye laser pulsed at 450 ps is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for removal of portwine stains and other vascular ectasias. In this study, we examined the mechanisms of vessel destruction by determining the effects of laser irradiation on three types of pri
