Vapor Channel Oscillations in Laser Lithotripsy
The study of laser-induced channel oscillations provides quantitative information relating fiber-target distance to channel oscillation frequency and energy transmission onto a target. These oscillations directly effect ablation efficiency and ablation rates that are important parameters for the optimization of a procedure's safety and duration. Insights that may lead to further reduction in retropulsion are also presented. Lasers Surg. Med. 00:00-00, 2024. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
