A temperature model for laser lithotripsy
- Abstract:
-
Laser lithotripsy, a common treatment for kidney stones, involves passing a flexible scope containing a laser fibre into the kidney via the bladder and ureter. Within the kidney, laser pulses are fired at the stone to break it into pieces small enough to flush out. During the procedure, laser energy is also transferred to the surrounding liquid, resulting in localised boiling and the production of vapour bubbles. While bubbles can have undesirable effects – for example, causing retropulsion o...
