HOLMIUM: YAG LITHOTRIPSY YIELDS SMALLER FRAGMENTS THAN LITHOCLAST, PULSED DYE LASER OR ELECTROHYDRAULIC LITHOTRIPSY

Abstract
Purpose: The mechanism of lithotripsy differs among electrohydraulic lithotripsy, mechanical lithotripsy, pulsed dye lasers and holmium:YAG lithotripsy. It is postulated that fragment size ...
