Laser versus pneumatic lithotripsy in adult patients undergoing semirigid ureteroscopy: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and trial sequential analysis.

Ureteral calculi are a common cause of acute urologic morbidity, and semirigid ureteroscopy is a standard treatment when spontaneous passage fails.

To compare laser lithotripsy (Holmium: YAG or Thulium fiber) with pneumatic lithotripsy for ureteral stones in adults undergoing semirigid ureteroscopy, focusing on early stone-free rate (stone-free rate) and key perioperative outcomes.
