Numerical Analysis of Bubble Dynamics in Electrohydraulic and Electromagnetic Shock Wave Lithotripsy [PDF]

, 2015
This study numerically investigated the bubble dynamics in electrohydraulic (EH) and electromagnetic (EM) shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). The acoustic pressure generated by a typical EH (i.e., Dornier HM-3) and EM (i.e., Siemens Modularis) lithotripters ...

Steinstrasse predictive factors and outcomes after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy

International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2011
PURPOSE: Urinary stone disease is a common medical problem. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) has been applied with high success and low complication rates. Steinstrasse (SS) is a possible complication after SWL. The aim of the present study was

Development of a urinary lithiasis localizer mechanism to couple ultrasound and extracorporeal lithotripsy equipment in canine model [PDF]

, 2006
INTRODUCTION: Due to the evolution of extracorporeal lithotripsy equipment (ESWL) and presently, the fact that most part of the equipment does not present ultrasound to localize urinary calculi, a system that allows adapting ultrasound equipment to ESWL ...

Flexible and navigable suction access sheaths: what size stone particles can be cleared?

BJU International, EarlyView.
Objectives To perform benchtop experiments on flexible and navigable suction (FANS) ureteric access sheaths (UASs) to determine the clearance capabilities for various stone sizes when paired with different‐sized ureteroscopes. Methods Quartz stones were used as a surrogate for renal stones.
