Olympus reviewed the following literature: "the clinical efficiency and safety of 60w superpulse thulium fiber laser in retrograde intrarenal surgery." literature summary: this prospective study was aimed to evaluate the clinical efficiency and safety of 60w thulium fiber laser(tfl) during retrograde intrarenal surgery (rirs).The performance of the tfl across different ranges of stone volumes and stone densities was assessed.Data of 126 of 135 patients included in the study were analyzed.Postoperative complications occurred in 21/126, which were mostly of clavien grades 1¿2.Twelve patients had hematuria, out of whom 11 were of grade 1 and one was of grade 2, requiring irrigation for 48 h.Nine patients had fever, who required a change to a higher generation antibiotic (clavien grade 2).No complication > grade 2 was seen.This study concluded that superpulse tfl is efficient and safe.The work efficiency increases for larger volume stones.The work efficiency remains the same across different stone densities.No complication more than clavien grade 2 was encountered.Type of adverse events/number of patients: hematuria - 12 patients.Fever- 9 patients.The authors used "p7 (olympus, shinjuku, tokyo), urf-p7 was selected as a representative product.
