Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy of Gallstones

Annals of Surgery, 1989
Recently extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been introduced as a nonoperative treatment for gallstone disease. Except for lung damage, no significant adverse effects of ESWL of gallbladder stones have been observed in animals. In clinical use ESWL of gallbladder stones is now confined to 15% to 30% of symptomatic patients.

Longer‐term effects of intraoperative cone‐beam computed tomography in percutaneous nephrolithotomy: 18‐month retrospective randomised controlled trial analysis

BJU International, Volume 136, Issue 5, Page 848-857, November 2025.
Objectives To assess the longer‐term impact of intraoperative cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) on stone‐related morbidity after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), since intraoperative CBCT allows for the detection and removal of residual fragments during the same procedure, improving stone clearance and thereby potentially diminishing stone ...

Comparing laser vs mechanical lithotripsy in suction mini‐PCNL for kidney stone disease: A prospective multicentre study by the endourology section of EAU

BJUI Compass, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Objectives To compare perioperative outcomes, complications and stone‐free rates (SFRs) between laser and non‐laser lithotripsy in suction‐assisted mini‐PCNL (SM‐PCNL). Subjects and Methods This prospective multicentre study enrolled adults with normal kidneys undergoing SM‐PCNL (14–22 Fr) across 30 international centres (March–November 2024).
