Holmium Laser
Holmium Laser is a precision device used to break up bladder and kidney stones. A laser fiber is passed to the stone location. It is aimed at the stone just off the surface and the laser energy is then fired at the stone to fragment it into small pieces. These pieces are then passed naturally by the patient in most cases. This laser is used primarily for stones in the ureters, but is also used for bladder and kidney stones depending on the situation.
