Method of reducing retro-repulsion during laser lithotripsy |
| abstract |
A method of reducing retro-repulsion of a kidney stone during a laser lithotripsy procedure utilizes a protective cap or sleeve fitted onto an end of the laser delivery fiber and extending a predetermined distance beyond a tip of the fiber to prevent contact between the tip of the fiber and a stone to limit retro-repulsion by maintaining contact between the protective cap and the stone, thereby limiting the amount of water in the path of the laser between the fiber tip and the stone. The method may further include the step of firing the laser only when contact between the protective cap and the stone is detected, implemented manually or by a contact detection system. The fiber tip may be outwardly tapered to collimate the laser beam and allow an increased spacing between the fiber tip and the distal end of the protective cap. |
