Abstract

This chapter provides an in-depth summary of the application of the holmium:YAG laser in ureteroscopy. First, the basic physics of laser lithotripsy is reviewed. Laser generators and the peculiarities of laser fibers are then discussed, with a special focus on their application in flexible ureteroscopy. Finally, some of the studies evaluating the outcomes and safety profile of holmium laser lithotripsy are reviewed.
