TFL vs Ho:YAG - A Prospective Study to Compare the Effectiveness of Thulium Fiber Laser and Holmium YAG Laser for Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ureteroscopic lithotripsy for Ureteric Stone. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This prospective randomized clinical trial aimed to compare the difference in stone ablation rates of TFL and Ho:YAG laser in a clinical setting. Patients are randomized to receive URS with lithotripsy (URSL) either with TFL or Ho:YAG with an allocation ratio of 1:1. Primary outcome is the efficiency of stone ablation in terms of the stone ablation rate

Interventions
Ureteroscopic lithotripsy is one of the surgical procedure options for ureteric stone less than 1.5 cm. While many energy systems has been used for stone fragmentation during ureteroscopy, laser energy is the most commonly used approach for stone fragmentation.
