This paper describes the basic concepts of stone fragmentation by lasers and the possibilities of guiding laser-light through optical fibers. A section about the physics of the laser-induced breakdown (LIB) and the Shockwaves produced thereby is followed. These Shockwaves cause the stone fragmentation in the laser-induced shock-wave lithotripsy (LISL) and the effectiveness of biliary and ureter stone destruction is dealt with in the last chapter.
