Experiments on the endoscopic destruction of kidney stones by neodymium-YAG laser, either thermically or mechanically, are being carried out with various results. The thermal destruction is clinically not feasible, and the risk of damaging neighboring tissue is inevitable. The direct generation of shock waves with pulsed Q-switch systems seems to represent the only feasible endoscopic method subject to further development of suitable devices for clinical tests.
正在进行用钕钇铝石榴石激光通过热效应或机械效应进行内窥镜下肾结石破坏的实验，结果各异。热破坏在临床上不可行，而且不可避免地存在损伤邻近组织的风险。利用脉冲调Q系统直接产生冲击波似乎是唯一可行的内窥镜方法，但还需进一步开发适合临床测试的设备。
