Résumé
Endocorporeal laser lithotripsy (ELL) is currently the gold standard for the treatment of renal stones during retrograde intra-renal surgery (RIRS). The newly-authorised thulium fibre laser (Tm-Fibre) in now evaluated as a holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser alternative, which is the most well-known laser source for ELL. This update aimed to present the fundamentals of pulsed lasers for EEL [technology, period, pulse characteristic (rate, duration, energy, shape), peak power, average power], and the available lithotripsy modes for both Tm-Fibre and Ho:YAG lasers.
