Bioeffects of Extracorporeal Shock-Wave Lithotripsy

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1987
Extracorporeal shock wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is an effective procedure for the noninvasive treatment of renal stones. Although ESWL has been perceived to be safe, numerous recent reports have presented evidence that ESWL causes severe acute effects and may induce chronic complications.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and glycosaminoglycans in urine

International Urology and Nephrology, 1997
In 50 calcium-oxalate stone-forming patients, the total excretion of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and four of its subgroups [chondroitin-4-sulfate (CS-A), chondroitin-6-sulfate (CS-C), dermatan sulfate (DS), and hyaluronic acid (HY)] was investigated before ESWL and in the following 5 days.

Targeting Shock Waves in human tissue for Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy is a relatively new alternative method to surgery for the treatment of many bone and muscle disorders. Currently, targeting of shock waves in the human body is done using either ultrasound or x-ray imaging. Many studies have shown controversial treatment results with conclusions that criticize ultrasound targeting ...

Fragmentation of Gallstones by Extracorporeal Shock Waves

Seminars in Liver Disease, 1987
Abstract 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.

Gallstone lithotripsy by extracorporeal shock waves

The American Journal of Surgery, 1989
Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in combination with adjuvant litholytic therapy using chenodeoxycholic acid and ursodeoxycholic acid (7 to 8 mg/kg body weight/day of each acid) is a safe and effective, novel nonsurgical approach to gallbladder stones, provided the patients are carefully selected.

Pressure Pulses in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Pain Therapy

2003
The medical use of pressure pulses has various aspects. New developments in the pressure-pulse measuring technique as well as international standardization pave the way to better understanding of stone disintegration and biological effects. A comparison of the widely used measuring techniques is given.
