Flexible Cystoscopy as an Adjunct to Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy
British Journal of Urology, 1990Summary— Ancillary procedures associated with extracorporeal Shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) include placement and subsequent removal of double pigtail ureteric stents. A simple new technique has been developed for the insertion of these stents.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL)
2008ESWL 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 ...

Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy of pancreatic duct stones
Gastrointestinal Radiology, 1992Encouraging results with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for pancreatic duct stones have been reported from Europe. We present our experience with the first two North American patients, treated with excellent results in one and limited clinical improvement in the other patient at 1 year follow-up.

The Complications of Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy: Management and Prevention
Journal of Urology, 1986Summary— Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy has been shown to be a safe and effective method of treating most upper urinary tract stones. Major complications, although few, include haemorrhage, septicaemia, “Steinstrasse” formation and cardiac arrhythmias.

Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy: urine cytology findings
Cytopathology, 2008Objectives: 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 childhood].
Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 1997In general, the criteria for treatment of urolithiasis in children are the same as those for adults. Today, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the method of choice for treatment of most pediatric urinary stones. Stone-free rates between 57% and 97% at short-term follow-up and 57%-92% at long-term follow-up have proven the efficacy of ESWL ...

[Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in childhood].
Padiatrie und Padologie, 1988ESWL is a non invasive method for treatment of renal and ureteral stones. This method offers the advantage that all radiopositive renal stones irrespectively of their actual location in the collecting system and the free parts of the ureter can be localized and treated. Between March 1985 and December 1986 in 14 children, aged 2 to 14 years, with renal

[Complications of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy].
Archivos espanoles de urologia, 1990The authors reviewed treatments performed worldwide using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy since its introduction in West Germany in 1980 to determine the efficacy of this treatment modality and its potential risks. The prevention of complications related to patients or shock wave energy are discussed, as well as the cardiovascular complications ...

[Controversies on extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy].
Archivos espanoles de urologia, 1990We analyzed our experience in 3,000 patients submitted to ESWL. Patient age ranged from 6-92 years. Stone size was 1 cm. in 33.2%, 1-3 cm. in 43.8%, and 23% had incomplete or complete staghorns. Following treatment 83.2% were stone-free, 13.1% had stone fragments that could be passed spontaneously, 3.4% had fragments larger than 4 mm., and 0.3% were ...

Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in infants.
The Canadian journal of urology, 2007Pediatric urolithiasis is relatively uncommon and limited information is available on the application of minimally invasive management modalities in young children. We present a single centre experience with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for infants with upper urinary tract calculi.A total of 74 infants aged 3 months to 24 months with ...
