Objective |
To describe specific techniques of holmium laser lithotripsy for intrarenal calculi based on characteristics of the stone.
Methods |

Results |
All techniques lead to successful stone ablation, with the different techniques being applied preferentially to stones with different characteristics.
Conclusion |
Honing precise techniques of ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy can lead to more efficient lithotripsy.
