With the development of a purpose-buit, miniaturised ureteroacope (7.2!) laser fragtnentation has become more effective and complications have been roduoed, Active1y-def1ectible ureteroecopes (9.5!) enable access to calculi in aintost a]]. clinical situatiotie. The impact of tha laser has baan fragmentation vhich is safer than electrohydrai1ic probea arid with less heat production than ultrasonic probos. More important still has been its Impact on ureteroecopy foi acees.
