The article compiles a series of research papers focusing on the comparison of Holmium:YAG laser and Thulium fiber laser for ureteric stone treatment during ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy. These studies employ various research methodologies, including prospective, randomized single-center trials, retrospective reviews, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews.
The research methods used in the cited studies include:
The aggregated research suggests a comparison of effectiveness and potential side effects of both laser types in the treatment of ureteric stones.
Specific details on the outcomes and conclusions of each study are not provided, but the references point to publications that offer in-depth analysis on the matter.
The article serves as a collection of resources providing up-to-date research on Holmium and Thulium lasers in ureteroscopic lithotripsy, highlighting the ongoing investigation into the optimal laser technology for this procedure. Further analysis of individual studies is needed to fully understand comparative outcomes.
