When long pulse is not enough: inferior dusting efficiency of pulsed thulium:YAG compared with Ho:YAG and thulium fiber laser in a standardized in vitro renal model
Pulsed thulium: YAG (p-Tm: YAG) and thulium fiber laser (TFL) differ in pulse architecture despite similar wavelengths. We asked whether long-pulse p-Tm: YAG achieves ablation efficiency and thermal behaviour comparable to holmium: YAG (Ho: YAG) and TFL under standardized low-power dusting settings. Fifty-four BegoSton...
