Extracorporeal Shock-Wave Lithotripsy

Journal of Urology, 1987
Analysis of our data clearly demonstrates that morbidity, secondary treatment, post-treatment manipulations, and failure of treatment increase as the stone size increases because of the increased stone fragment burden. Patients whose stone burden was less than 2 cm clearly had less morbidity.

Extracorporeal shock‐wave lithotripsy

Medical Journal of Australia, 1986
Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy is a new technique for treatment of symptomatic renal and upper ureteral calculi. After biplanar fluoroscopic localization of the targeted calculus, serial shock waves cause calculus disintegration, with subsequent spontaneous transurethral passage of the fragments. Excellent clinical results and patient enthusiasm

Pain in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy

Urological Research, 2009
Pain tolerance has long been identified as a factor influencing successful treatment of renal calculi by shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). We aimed to clarify which factors directly influence pain tolerance to predict which patients are likely to undergo successful treatment.
