The Thulium Fiber Laser method involves advancing a laser probe inside an endoscopic instrument and delivering the energy to the tissue or the stone. The surgical site is magnified by 10-12x on the screen of the endoscopic device in the Thulium Laser procedure. Since the laser probe is quite thin, it does not affect the movement capability inside the target tissue.
The Thulim Laser causes relatively milder damage in tissue thanks to the high frequencies. The Thulium Laser can be operated continuously by producing both pulsed and continuous energy. This feature facilitates the cutting and the coagulation.
The Thulium Laser procedures do not require any incision; the procedures are performed by inserting the device into the urinary tract.
