Destruction and removal of endoscopic lithoscope lithoscopy with laser

Laser lithotripsy is a surgical technique to remove kidney stones. Any type of wave is used to destroy the stones: ultrasonic, electrohydraulic or shock waves. The holmium or holmium laser, in particular, offers one of the most advanced ureteroscopy or endoscopy treatments for the treatment of kidney stones, using a laser beam of thermal energy that breaks up the obstructive tissue. This is a minimally invasive laser technology procedure.

It is a procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia or light sedation to eliminate the pain of the intervention.

Laser lithotripsy is used to fragment all types of kidney stones, whether they are cystine, calcium oxalate monohydrate or brushite (calcium phosphate). In fact, it is performed because it offers:

• High effectiveness in fragmenting any stone
• Maximum surgeon control during treatment, as the laser introduces minimal propulsion or movement into the stone.
• Optimal use of fibers of different caliber and great flexibility, which can be used in any endoscope.
