...R. Andrianne; C. Vandeberg; P. Bonnet; H. Nicolas; L. Coppens; C. Bouffioux; J. de Leval Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been initially designed for stones located in the kidney and the upper ureter. Our lithotripter is no exception. Its components (the table and the orientation...

... to that in dilated kidneys. It should be preferable to treat as many staghorn stones as possible in nondilated kidneys with staged extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) monotherapy, stenting the ureter and monitoring the urinary infection. Struvite stones are best suitable for stented ESWL because...

...C.P. Delaney; T.A. Creagh; J.M. Smith; J.M. Fitzpatrick A review of 84 patients with triple phosphate (staghorn) calculi treated by extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) revealed a 67% stone clearance at 6 months. Classification of calculi according to morphology showed a variation in stone...

...K. Miller; G. Fuchs; J. Rassweiler; F. Eisenberger The first clinical experiences with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) - the method of choice in noninvasive treatment of renal calculi - were so encouraging that more ESWL units are now being installed and a still larger number can...

...K. Miller; J.R. Bubeck; R. Hautmann To date, the use of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been limited to renal calculi and ureteral calculi above the pelvic brim. Modifying the position of the patient on the support of the Domier lithotripter HM3, we were able to localize and treat...

...Sadettin Küpeli; Nihat Arikan; Ilker Durak; Kemal Sarica; Mustafa Akpoyraz; Giray Karalezli Clinical use of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the noninvasive management of urinary calculi is highly effective and practical. But its results vary in relation to several factors including...

... Blood sampling times in animal (T1–T6) and patient studies (T0–T8) A total of 145 patients from the Department of Urology, Medical University Lübeck, were enrolled into the study between 1994 and 1996. There were 25 patients who underwent extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL...

... that can influence extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) results. This study attempts to identify variables that may influence the outcome of ESWL in the treatment of ureterolithiasis in patients with urinary bilharziasis. Patients and Methods: Forty–three patients with urinary schistosomiasis...

...Ammar Ghobish Objectives: To assess the outcome of a boosted, stentless, ventral in situ extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) of middle and lower ureteric stones using a shockwave head from the opposite side of the stone using a Lithostar Siemens lithotriptor for stones larger than average...

...Alwin Weber; Kai Uwe Koehrmann; Nicole Denig; Maurice Stephan Michel; Peter Alken Objective: Additional anesthesia is required to minimize the tolerable pain level in efficiently performed extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) with electrohydraulic and electromagnetic sources. In order...
