钬激光碎石技术操作简单，通过膀胱镜、输尿管镜或经皮镜看到后，只需将光纤直接接触表面激发激光即可，通过一种“钻孔效应”，被汽化，形成细小的碎粒排出体外。另外，对于阻碍排出的炎性 ，可以在碎石时一并用钬激光予以切除，大大提高了的一次成功率。但是存在的缺点是由于钬激光能量高，操作需特别小心，如操作不当，容易损伤输尿管及脏。

Holmium laser lithotripsy technology is simple to operate. After being seen through cystoscopy, ureteroscopy or percutaneous mirror, it only needs to excite the laser by directly contacting the surface of the optical fiber. Through a "drilling effect", it is vaporized to form fine particles and discharged from the body. In addition, the inflammation that hinders discharge can be removed with holmium laser during lithotripsy, which greatly improves the one-time success rate of lithotripsy. However, the disadvantage is that due to the high energy of holmium laser, the operation needs special care. If the operation is improper, it is easy to damage the ureter and dirty.
