This is a multi-center, prospective clinical trial to assess the effect of TFL for the lithotripsy of kidney stones.
Flexible ureteroscopy is considered the first-line therapy for renal stones < 2 cm. The Holmium: YAG laser (Ho:YAG) is established as gold standard in urology practice. Despite its limitations, it is widely used to break stones into fragments small enough to remove or pass spontaneously through the ureter. Advances in the understanding of laser energy delivery have led to the recent commercialization of the 'Thulium Fiber Laser' (TFL) with unique characteristics and promising improvements of ablation efficiency, dusting capacity, operating time and deflection. A a multi-center, prospective clinical trial to further assess those advantages for the lithotripsy of kidney stones will be conducted.

Medical chart review will be done to assess the occurence of post-operative complications
| at 6 weeks |
| Rate of stone free status | Post-operative CT imaging will be reviewed to assess the occurence of ''stone free status'' | at 6 weeks |
| Rate of need for ancillary procedures | Medical chart review will be done to assess the occurence of an additional ureteroscopy need to treat patients | at 6 weeks |
| Mean perceived workload score | Effects of TFL technology on reducing surgeon perceived workload will be assessed by completing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Task Load Index. The tool allows to determine the subjective mental workload (MWL) of a participant while they are performing a task.The participants self-rate on a scale of 1 (low) to 20 (high). The higher the score, the worst is the outcome. | immediately after the procedure |
