    Thulium fiber lasers (TFL) are emerging as a safer and more effective alternative to holmium YAG lasers for urological lithotripsy.

  • 2

    Safety concerns regarding TFL include increased intraoperative complications and thermal injuries linked to high-power settings.

  • 3

    Burst lasing intermittently stops laser emission to manage thermal effects, while steady-state lasing maintains continuous output for visibility.

  • 4

    The study evaluates stone ablation rates and thermal injuries using burst and steady-state lasing techniques in an in vitro ureteral model.

  • 5

    Statistical analysis of ablation rates and ureteral damage was conducted using SPSS software to assess the efficacy of different laser settings.
