Comments on Thermal effect of holmium laser lithotripsy under ureteroscopy

摘要

We appreciate the work Wang have done on thermal effect of holmium laser lithotripsy under ureteroscopy. Holmium laser is considered as the optimum lithotripter for ureteroscopy due to its effectiveness. With the application of high-power laser system, the potential risk of ureter thermal injury increases. Several and animal experiments have been carried out to assess temperature changes of lavage solution during laser activation recent years. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first human study revealing temperature changes of ureter lavage solution during holmium laser ureteroscopic lithotripsy.
