New alternative for lithotripsy: long-pulse solid-state laser with a fiber based resonator

Abstract

Numerous studies of laser action on integral calculi performed during last few years make it clear that the most effective stone fragmentation is provided by laser radiation having a pulse duration in the range of a few hundreds nanoseconds. In this case it is possible to use the optical fiber for laser delivery both in contact and in non-contact operation without significant destruction of the fiber. Presently the most common laser used for lithotripsy is alexandrite.
