Lithium/Holmium Laser

Medical Equipment

Holmium laser lithotripsy is a procedure that uses lasers to remove stones in the bladder, kidneys, ureters or urethra.

It’s an alternative to a procedure called extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy. In that procedure, sound waves from outside the body are used to break up the stones. Holmium laser lithotripsy has been shown to be effective no matter the size, location and/or hardness of stone. These factors limit the shockwave lithotripsy’s effectiveness.

Compared to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, holmium laser lithotripsy has been shown to have higher success rates and decreased chance of steinstrasse (a complication of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in which fragments of the stones block the ureter).

The procedure has been shown to be effective for a patient with multiple stones and can also be used in patients who must be on blood thinner medications
