Comparing Clinical Outcomes - SOLTIVE™ SuperPulsed Laser vs. Ho:YAG with Dr. Ahmed Ghazi

In September 2021, the Journal of Urology published a clinical abstract titled “HOLMIUM:YAG (HO:YAG) VERSUS THULIUM FIBER LASER (TFL) FOR TREATMENT OF UPPER URINARY TRACT CALCULI IN DUSTING MODE: A CLINICAL COMPARISON OF EFFICIENCY, EFFICACY AND COSTS EFFECTIVENESS” (https://www.auajournals.org/doi/10.10.... The abstract demonstrated the SOLTIVE™ SuperPulsed Laser as a more effective, efficient and cost effective laser during RIRS lithotripsy when operated in dusting mode, producing higher stone ablation rates and speed with improved stone free rates than a high-powered, 100W Ho:YAG laser. The lead investigator was Professor of Urology at the University of Rochester, Dr. Ahmed Ghazi. This data collection effort was done independently by the University of Rochester without industry sponsorship. This presentation (December 2021) was a promotional speaking engagement sponsored by Olympus with Dr. Ghazi as a paid consultant. The event host was Brian Schneider, a US commercial leader for the Urology Business Unit within the Olympus Corporation of the Americas. The SOLTIVE™ SuperPulsed Laser, powered by a novel energy source, is capable of dusting stones in half the time and fragmenting stones relentlessly with virtually no retropulsion. For effective dusting and fragmentation, the tip of the laser fiber should be directly in contact with the stone. Continuous irrigation should be used to wash away stone fragments and to provide cooling of the treatment site. The use of higher power settings should be avoided, especially when the fiber tip is in close proximity to the ureteral wall, as perforation of the ureter may result. As with non-laser surgery, the possibility of complications and adverse events, such as chills, fever, edema, hemorrhage, inflammation, tissue necrosis, or infection may occur following treatment. In extreme cases, death may occur due to procedural complications, concurrent illness, or laser application. As with any conventional surgery, acute pain may occur immediately following laser therapy and may persist for as long as 48 hours.
