Laser showdown: which beam zaps kidney stones best?

NCT ID NCT06070714

Summary

This study compared two different laser systems used to break up kidney stones during a standard outpatient procedure. Researchers wanted to see which laser was better at completely clearing stones and which was safer and more efficient. 178 patients with kidney stones were randomly assigned to have their procedure with one of the two lasers, and their results were compared.
