[Possibility of destroying gallstones by pulse YAG-Nd laser radiation using an endoscope].
Four sets of in vitro experiments have been performed to study the effect of pulse YAG-Nd laser inserted into a quartz lightguide on gall-stones and walls of gall ducts. The consistent destruction of stones has been demonstrated no matter what their dimensions and chemical compositions. The method is believed to be safe for clinical usage.
