Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy to distal ureteric stones: the transgluteal approach significantly increases stone-free rates [PDF]
What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) can be used to treat stones at any position within the ureter, as long as the stone is radio-opaque and there is a path for the shockwave to reach the stone.

PREDICTIVE FACTORS OF POST EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPSI COMPLICATION EVENTS
Objective: To know if pre-morbid factors such as maximum power, maximum frequency, repeated extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), age, hypertension, diabetic, nutrition, blood coagulation disorders, kidney function disorders, pain perception ...

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 ...

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).

ABSTRACT Double‐J (DJ) stents are commonly used to maintain ureteral patency after procedures like ureteral stone removal. Ideally, they should be replaced or removed within 6 to 12 weeks to avoid complications such as encrustation and stone formation. However, prolonged retention can lead to severe outcomes. This case report discusses a patient with a

Is stone clearance after shockwave lithotripsy in patients with solitary upper-caliceal stone influenced by anatomic differences in the pelvicaliceal system? [PDF]
Purpose: We investigated the effect of pelvicaliceal differences on stone clearance after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) in patients with solitary upper-caliceal ...

Vertebral fracture associated with shockwave lithotripsy in a patient with granulomatous spondylitis. [PDF]
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) is an accepted treatment modality in the treatment of urinary stone disease. Many complications have been reported secondary to high-energy shockwaves, but the effects of SWL on the skeletal system have rarely ...

Huge hematoma following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy leading to nephrectomy
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a noninvasive and relatively safe method for treating small urinary tract stones, however it may be accompanied with some important complications including hematoma.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy of Primary Intrahepatic Stones
Extracorporeal shockwave lithothripsy (ESWL) was performed in intrahepatic stone patients (n = 18) by Dornier MPL 9,000 with ultrasound guidance. The patients had T-tube (n = 9) or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage tube (n = 9). Average treatment session was four and shock-wave numbers were in the range of 3,064 to 12,000 (average 6,288 shocks)
