The properties of a laser which effect stone fragmentation have been studied. The pulsed dye laser emitting at 504 nm. in one microsecond duration pulses appears to be the optimum out of a wide range of parameters tested. The laser is coupled to a 200 micron core fiber; this complete with its cladding has a total diameter of only 0.25 mm. Most calculi are fragmented by a series of pulses of up to 30 mJ. The system is used by firing bursts of pulses with the fiber actually in contact with the stone. The result is a very controlled fragmentation which is particularly suited to use in the confines of the ureter. This modality of treatment utilises less energy than ultrasound or electrohydraulic probes to fragment a stone and the very fine, flexible fiber represents a considerable miniaturization.
