Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy

Journal of Urology, 1986
Urolithiasis represents the symptomatic manifestation of various metabolic disturbances which persist after elimination of the immediate problem, i.e., urinary stones, and may lead to the development of recurrent stones. Invasive surgical removal of recurrent stones is sometimes associated with considerable problems.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy

Journal of Urology, 1988
To the Editor .—I am writing about the article by Brown et al 1 in the January 1988 issue of theArchives. The statement that "extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has become an important mode of therapy for renal lithiasis in patients who cannot withstand surgery" is unusual.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy in Children

The Journal of Urology, 1995
To analyze the efficacy and complication rates of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy in children.Between 1987 and 1994, 8760 patients with urinary calculi were treated at our institution. A total of 70 (0.8%) children 3 to 14 years old underwent lithotripsy using the Siemens Lithostar or the Lithostar Plus.

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.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy in Childhood

Journal of Urology, 1987
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is the treatment of choice for the majority of upper urinary calculi in adults. Technical limitations, including patient size and concerns over post-treatment stone fragment passage, have made the application of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in children less clearly defined.

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.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and glycosaminoglycans in urine [PDF]

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.
