Turning up the HEAT: Surgical simulation of the Moses 2.0 laser in an anatomic model

CONCLUSIONS: Laser energy and frequency play an important role in the thermal loads delivered during laser lithotripsy. Urologists must perform laser lithotripsy cautiously when aggressively treating large renal pelvis stones, as dangerous temperatures can be reached. To reduce the risk of causing thermal tissue injury, urologists should consider reducing their ODC and laser-on time.PMID:38466866 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8673
