Incision depth, vaporization area, coagulation area, and total laser area for Th:YAG versus Ho:YAG lasers upon porcine renal urothelium ex vivo.

	Th:YAG	Ho:YAG	p
Power, mean ± SD, W	15.21 ± 8.61	14.65 ± 7.79	0.930
ID, mean ± SD, mm	0.346 ± 0.120	0.458 ± 0.194	0.024*
VA, mean ± SD, mm2	0.070 ± 0.45	0.066 ± 0.46	0.572
CA, mean ± SD, mm2	0.123 ± 0.020	0.066 ± 0.035	0.001*
TLA, mean ± SD, mm2	0.264 ± 0.146	0.125 ± 0.055	0.005*

CA = coagulation area; ID = incision depth; TLA = total laser area; VA = vaporization area.

*p < 0.05.
