Abstract

Laser lithotripsy destroys urinary stones by ablating them into fine particles and dust. However, the nature of the resulting dust is not well understood, nor how this differs for different stone types. To investigate this, canine stones of different types were ablated in vitro using a Ho:YAG laser and the resulting particles analysed to calculate a characteristic particle size distribution for each stone type. Differences in these size distributions may require the resulting stone dust to be managed differently in vivo.
