Neodymium:YAG and holmium:YAG lasers were used to remove intraluminal sutures from three patients. In two, the suture was in the bladder and had served as a nidus for stone formation. In the other, the suture was in the ureter. An in vitro study showed that the Nd:YAG laser could divide all types of suture readily, whereas the Ho:YAG laser could divide all materials except Gortex. These cases illustrate another application for lasers.
钇铝石榴石激光和钬：钇铝石榴石激光被用于为三名患者移除腔内缝线。其中两名患者的缝线位于膀胱，是结石形成的病灶。另一名患者的缝线位于输尿管。一项体外研究表明，钕：钇铝石榴石激光能够轻易切割所有类型的缝线，而钬：钇铝石榴石激光除了戈尔特斯（Gortex）材料外，能切割所有材料。这些病例说明了激光的另一种应用。
