Video Summary

In this video, Ali and Linda discuss their preference for using EHL (Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy) over laser for stone fragmentation in endoscopic procedures. They mention that in Europe, regulations require a dedicated room for laser use, which limits flexibility. EHL is easier to transport and can be plugged into operating room equipment. They also discuss the need for multiple EHL probes when dealing with larger stones. They agree that EHL is safer and more beginner-friendly compared to laser use. They mention that there is no significant difference in efficacy between EHL and laser, and using EHL does not significantly increase procedure costs. They also briefly discuss their approach to choosing between different dilation methods and the importance of planning based on MRI findings. No specific credits are mentioned in the video.
