Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy of Distal Ureteral Calculi
European Urology, 1986To 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.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy in the Pediatric Population*
Journal of Endourology, 1999Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) is being used increasingly as a therapeutic modality for childhood urolithiasis. We reported our experience and results of SWL in the pediatric population.The 59 renal units (RU) of 54 patients were retrospectively reviewed. The mean patient age was 10+/-3.5 years. All patients were treated with the Lithostar lithotripter in

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.

Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for upper tract urolithiasis
Current Opinion in Urology, 2014For the last three decades, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) has been the mainstay of management of urolithiasis; recognized widely by patients and physicians for its noninvasive approach and good outcomes. Recent challenges by endoscopic approaches have driven ongoing research to refine indications, define outcomes and explore innovations ...

Short-Term Bioeffects of Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy
Journal of Endourology, 1994Safety guidelines for shockwave delivery during extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) are not yet clear. Renal functions were assessed by using urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT; EC.2.6.1.2), aspartate aminotransferase (AST; EC. 2.6.1.1), and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) as

[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 ...

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

Renal Function After Bilateral Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy
Journal of Endourology, 1994We studied renal function an average of 44 months after simultaneous bilateral renal SWL in 56 patients. No cases of clinically apparent acute renal failure occurred in the early postoperative period. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated using an empiric formula having a significant correlation with measured creatinine clearance, and a ...

[Extracorporeal shockwave nephro-uretero-lithotripsy].
Klinicheskaia meditsina, 1992Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been widely introduced in the treatment of nephro-uretero-lithiasis during the last decade as it provides a noninvasive removal of the stones from the upper urinary tracts. The paper covers the history, techniques, indications, contraindications, anesthesia, complications and results of the method ...

[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 ...
