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 Pediatrics

Journal of Endourology, 2008
Since its introduction in 1980, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) has become the first therapeutic option in most cases of upper-tract urolithiasis, and the technique has been used for pediatric renal stones since the first report of success in 1986. Lithotripter effectiveness depends on the power expressed at the focal point.

Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy: urine cytology findings

Cytopathology, 2008
Objectives:  To describe the urine cytology findings before and after stone therapy with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and discuss its importance.Methods:  The study consisted of 100 patients with a urinary tract stone (79 renal pelvic stones and 21 upper ureteric stones), 74 were male and 26 were female. The ages ranged 30–55 years. The

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

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, 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.

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.

Cardiac Dysrhythmias Induced by Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy

Journal of Endourology, 1999
We evaluated in 269 consecutive patients the incidence and gravity of dysrhythmic complications during nonsynchronized extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) using an electromagnetic lithotripter.Dysrhythmia occurred during treatment in 22 patients (8.8%) with no previous cardiac dysrhythmia.

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.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

2008
ESWL has proven over time to be a major breakthrough in urology. It is the procedure by which shockwaves are generated at a point external to the body (F1 point) and are focused on a kidney stone in the body (F2 point) (Figure 28.1). The shockwaves themselves are relatively weak at their source and can thus traverse the body without any untoward ...
