High-Frequency Dusting Versus Conventional Holmium Laser Lithotripsy for Intrarenal and Ureteral Calculi

Abstract

Laser lithotripsy of calcium oxalate monohydrate stones in the ureter should be performed using the low-energy, moderate-frequency dusting setting to minimize retropulsion and maximize efficiency. In the renal calix, the low-energy high-frequency setting performed similarly to the high-energy low-frequency setting.
