Thulium Fiber Laser Versus Holmium:YAG for Urological Stone Lithotripsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TFL demonstrates superior procedural outcomes compared to Ho:YAG in endourological management of urinary stones. Further research into next-generation systems-such as the Cyber Ho Magneto, which integrates high-power Ho:YAG output with TFL-like pulse modulation-may provide additional procedural benefits and warrants formal clinical evaluation.
