Irrespective of the density, RIRS with SP TFL laser has proven to be both a safe and effective procedure. Whilst the introduction of smaller fibers may have the potential to reduce the duration of surgery, SP TFL results in a reduction in the LOT and total energy for stone ablation in RIRS compared with Ho:YAG.
