There is a large body of literature comparing the capabilities of Ho:YAG and thulium fiber lasers (TFLs). The novel, pulsed thulium:yttrium aluminum garnet laser (p-Tm:YAG) evaluation model has only been compared with Ho:YAG in terms of its dusting performance to date. It was this study's aim to compare the p-Tm:YAG's dusting efficiency with that of a chopped TFL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During the laser ablation procedure, while the laser device was emitting light, the laser fiber was spiraled across the surface of a uniform kidney stone model via software. We relied on the stone model's difference in weight before and after the dusting procedure to assess the dusting efficiency and assessed each laser device's dusting efficiency at various preset laser configurations and laser fiber-motion speeds. We compared both laser devices' laser configurations, which were identical in pulse energy and frequency, while keeping in mind that the pulse duration differed significantly. In addition, we tested each laser device's capability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The average ablated weight across all laser configurations was 0.61\u2009g (standard deviation [SD]\u2009=\u20090.44\u2009g) for p-Tm:YAG and 0.76\u2009g (SD\u2009=\u20090.51\u2009g) for TFL. After statistical analysis, we found no significant difference in ablated weight between the laser devices (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">U<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20091715.5,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      -value\u2009=\u20090.11).

The ablation efficiency did not seem to be affected by the laser devices' differences in pulse duration. Slower laser fiber-motion speeds resulted in more efficient ablation. When using the maximum preset frequency and power configuration, TFL's dusting efficiency appeared to be inefficient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2021.0441","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,23]],"date-time":"2021-10-23T10:47:37Z","timestamp":1634986057000},"page":"259-265","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Dusting Efficiency of a Novel Pulsed Thulium:Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser\n                    <i>vs<\/i>\n                    a Thulium Fiber Laser"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Lea","family":"Kraft","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical Centre, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehmet","family":"Yilmaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical Centre, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ralf","family":"Petzold","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical Centre, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Gratzke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical Centre, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Suarez-Ibarrola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical Centre, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arkadiusz","family":"Miernik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical Centre, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2016.03.035"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lsm.23057"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2020.0525"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_5_2","first-page":"3","article-title":"What is new in lasers for endourology: Looking into the future","volume":"25","author":"Anna E Brewin BKS","year":"2021","unstructured":"Anna E Brewin BKS.
