The Holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho: YAG) laser has been the gold-standard for laser
lithotripsy over the last 20 years. However, recent reports about a new prototype thulium …

Objective To compare and assess the clinical outcomes between thulium fibre laser (TFL)
and holmium: yttrium‐aluminium‐garnet (Ho: YAG) laser endoscopic lithotripsy of …

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of new super pulse thulium fiber laser (SP TFL) and
compare it with holmium laser for ureterolithotripsy. Patients and Methods: A total of 174 …

Purpose A superpulse (500 W peak power) thulium fiber laser operating at a 1940 nm
wavelength, suitable for lithotripsy, has recently been developed. The goal of this study was …

Objective To perform an up‐to‐date review to scope the current status of the thulium fibre
laser (TFL) in the setting of stone lithotripsy and provide a guide for the clinical urologist …

Thirty-three years ago, pulsed lasers marked the beginning of a new era in endoscopic
lithotripsy, and the one that was highlighted because of its potential was the Holmium: YAG …

Purpose To evaluate whether stone dust can be obtained from all prevailing stone
composition types using the thulium fiber laser (TFL) for lithotripsy. Where applicable, stone …

Purpose: We sought to compare the clinical effectiveness of the pulse-modulated Ho: YAG
(holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet) laser and the thulium laser fiber for ureteroscopic stone …

Based on the review, the TFL is a potential game-changer for kidney stone disease and has
a promising role in the future. However larger multicentric prospective clinical studies with …

Introduction and Objective: The novel thulium fiber laser (TFL) has been shown to break
stones more rapidly than the holmium: YAG laser (HL). However, some evidence suggests …
