Abstract: Laser lithotripsy systems and methods with a controlled retropulsion setting to facilitate manipulation, migration, and ablation of a calculi structure are disclosed. An endoscopic lithotripsy system comprises a laser system to provide laser pulses to a calculi structure in an anatomical environment, and a controller circuit to localize the calculi structure. If it is determined that the calculi structure is not at a target location, the laser system emits first laser pulses according to a first laser output setting, which produces a high retropulsion effect to mobilize and reposition the calculi structure to the target location. For calculi structure located at or migrating to the target location, the laser system emits second laser pulses according to a second laser output setting, which produces a lower retropulsion effect than the first laser pulses, but a higher efficiency to ablate or fragment the calculi structure.
