Abstract

There is currently insufficient in vivo evidence that high-power Ho:YAG lasers improve retrograde intrarenal surgery or the ablation efficacy. While prospective trials are awaited, a low-cost, silent, low-power Ho:YAG laser that requires only a standard electrical outlet is more than sufficient for retrograde intrarenal surgery.
