Ureteral Stones










                • When in the ureter, surgeons should exercise the same
                    level of caution and lower power settings as they’ve

                    done with their Ho:YAG laser.

                • Some surgeons rarely go above 10W in the ureter and

                    often stay lower. Consider reducing the presets to start
                    with 0.2J x 40Hz (8W) and adjust from there, if

                    necessary. When close to the urothelium, consider
                    reducing frequency, or adjust technique to target the                                                                                              with your Soltive!
