Efficacy of low‐intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy for the treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Neurourology and Urodynamics, 2019
Low‐intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li‐ESWT) has been applied in urolithiasis and some chronic diseases. We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to assess the efficacy of Li‐ESWT for the treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic ...

Extracorporeal Shock-Wave Lithotripsy for Children

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1988
We report the cases of 17 children between the ages of 3 and 17 years who underwent 19 treatments using extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy. Stone size averaged 14.9 mm, with a range of 3 to 25 mm. The number of shock waves delivered averaged 1720, with a range of 600 to 2000. Treatment time averaged 36 minutes, with a range of 15 to 55 minutes.

Electrohydraulic and Extracorporeal Shock-Wave Lithotripsy

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1999
The literal meaning of lithotripsy is the "act of breaking stones." There are two forms of lithotripsy available for use in veterinary medicine: electrohydraulic shock-wave lithotripsy (EHL) and extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL). With EHL, a shock-wave is generated immediately adjacent to a urolith within the urinary bladder.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy in Children

Journal of Urology, 1987
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has proved to be an effective method of treating upper urinary tract calculi. We report on 14 patients 17 years old or younger who were treated with the Dornier lithotriptor. Special adjustments of the gantry and water level, as well as shielding of the lungs, were necessary in those children less than 135 cm.

Antibacterial effects of extracorporeal shock waves

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2005
Despite considerable knowledge about effects of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) on eukaryotic tissues, only little data are available concerning their effect on prokaryotic microorganisms. The objective of the present study was to determine the bactericidal activity as a function of energy flux density and shock-wave impulse number ...

Experiments with extracorporeal shock wave nephrolithotripsy

International Urology and Nephrology, 1989
Two sets of experiments were carried out on 14 live rabbits having renal calculi from nephrolithiasis patients implanted in their kidneys. Shock waves were used to disintegrate the implanted concrements. It took 100 to 150 sound pulses to crush struvite stones to fragments less than 2 mm in size, with 400 to 800 pulses needed to destroy calcium oxalate

Fragmentation of Gallstones by Extracorporeal Shock Waves

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1986
We treated nine patients with functioning gallbladders containing one to three symptomatic radiolucent stones not larger than 25 mm in diameter, as well as five patients with stones in the common bile duct that were not removable by endoscopic procedures, by means of extracorporeally generated shock waves during general anesthesia.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in children

Acta Paediatrica, 1996
An experience with 103 children treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is reviewed in this report. The success rate was 63%. The stone volume was of major importance for the result. There was a continuous decrease in success rate with increasing stone size.
