Biliary extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy

Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, 1990
Biliary extracorporeal lithotripsy has been considered one of the alternatives to surgery for the treatment of gallstones in the bile ducts and in the gallbladder. Although this technique can fragment almost all gallstones, the clinical effectiveness of this new treatment modality must be measured by successful elimination of all fragments.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy in Anomalous Kidneys

Journal of Endourology, 1999
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) is accepted as first-line therapy for kidney stones. The aim of this study was to evaluate SWL therapy in patients with congenital urinary system anomalies.A total of 120 patients with congenital urinary system anomalies and kidney stones who underwent SWL treatment were evaluated.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy

2007
Since its first scientific and clinical descriptions by Chaussy more than 20 years ago, extracorporeal Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) has truly revolutionized the urologic management of stone disease and remains the sole noninvasive surgical treatment modality for urinary tract calculi (1–3). During the 1980s, the explosion of clinical experience with SWL

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy in Anomalous Kidneys

Journal of Endourology, 1994
Traditionally, stones in anomalous kidneys have been removed by open or percutaneous surgery. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) with the Dornier MPL 9000 lithotripter was performed in seven patients with horseshoe kidneys, four with pelvic ectopic kidneys, and six with malrotated kidneys. Twelve patients (71%) needed repeated treatments.

Extracorporeal Shockwave lithotripsy

1997
The prevalence of gallstones in the Western world varies from 7% to 37%, with the Netherlands somewhere in the middle of the range1. The number of patients with gallstones is increasing both in the Western world and in the developing countries2. The prevalence of gallstone disorders is related to age and sex, as is apparent from a recent Italian study3.

Impact of Shockwave Coupling on Efficacy of Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy

Journal of Endourology, 2007
To evaluate the impact of a slow gated treatment rate on the efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL).From August 1990 to July 2002, 40,462 SWL procedures were performed using the slow frequency electrocardiography (ECG)-gated lithotripter (82.5%) and fast frequency ECG-ungated (17.5%) modes for the Medstone STS lithotripter.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy or Extracorporeal Piezoelectric Lithotripsy? Comparison of Costs and Results

British Journal of Urology, 1991
Summary One thousand patients with renal stones up to 3 cm in diameter were divided equally into 2 groups matched for age, sex and stone size. One group was treated on the Dornier HM3 lithotriptor and the other on the EDAP LT01.

Pancreatic Stones and Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy

Pancreas, 2022
Abstract Pancreatic stones are sequelae of chronic pancreatitis, resulting in poor quality of life, frequent hospitalizations, and a significant economic burden. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) can be used to treat pancreatic stones and is less invasive when compared to other modalities.

Does Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy Cause Hypertension?

British Journal of Urology, 1989
Summary— Several series have suggested that the incidence of hypertension following extracorporeal Shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) may be as high as 8%. In this study, changes in blood pressure and the incidence of hypertension have been observed in 733 patients 12 to 44 months after renal ESWL on the Dornier HM3.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy of Distal Ureteral Calculi

European Urology, 1986
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 Dornier lithotripter HM3, we were able to localize and treat distal ureteral calculi.
