About

M. Corrales is a rising authority in urologic laser lithotripsy, specializing in the comparative physics and clinical efficacy of advanced laser systems for kidney stone treatment. Their major contributions center on rigorous, standardized evaluations of Holmium:YAG, Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL), and Pulsed Thulium:YAG (p-Tm:YAG) technologies. In their highly cited 2025 work, Corrales pioneered the use of a robotic arm to ensure consistent laser application, enabling the first truly objective comparison of ablation rates across these three systems. This study provided critical data on the p-Tm:YAG laser’s performance relative to established technologies, offering urologists evidence-based guidance for laser selection. While early in their career, Corrales’s work has already garnered significant attention, with their landmark paper accumulating 3 citations—a strong start for a technical methods paper. By eliminating human variability through robotic standardization, Corrales has set a new methodological benchmark for laser research, directly impacting surgical decision-making and device development in endourology. Their findings are essential reading for researchers and clinicians seeking to optimize stone fragmentation efficiency and safety.
