Description
Summary:Dear Editor, The original paper by Ahmad Para S et al1 analyzed the incidence of ureteral strictures following holmium: yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho:YAG) and thulium fiber laser (TFL) endocorporeal laser lithotripsy (ELL) for ureteral stones. The authors should be commended for their work because this is the first prospective randomized controlled trial comparing the ureteric stricture rates between these 2 laser technologies for ELL. This study concluded that the TFL had a higher incidence of ureteral strictures than the Ho: YAG laser. Our editorial letter aims to clarify and highlight some key points.
