Laser lithotripsy is the fragmentation of calculi using the Holmium laser. The high absorption of the Holmium laser light (wavelength: 2.1 µm in the infrared) by the calculus leads to the ablation of the calculus material regardless of its chemical composition. Endoscopic imaging and controlled laser pulses ensure safe contact between the fiber tip and calculus. Thin fibers with a core diameter of 200 µm allow thinner endoscopes to be used to advance to the renal calyces. Lithotripsy using the holmium laser is characterized by a high success rate and low complication rate for all types of calculi.
We have recently done 100 cases of RIRS last year(probably one of the largest series in hyderabad) sucessfully with Holmium laser and RIRS -olympus scope.
Thanks for sharing the information about the ONE OF THE LARGEST SERIES OF RIRS IN 2012: FOR RENAL CALCULI.
