Propensity Score Matched Analysis of Thulium Fiber vs Pulsed Thulium:Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser Lithotripsy in Flexible Ureteroscopy for Kidney Stone Disease Using a Flexible and Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath: Results From a Prospective
F-URS using FANS-UAS showed negligible serious adverse events and good SFR using both lasers. p-Thu:YAG laser showed shorter lasing time, marginal better grade A+B SFR but higher reintervention rate for residual fragments.
