Focused Ultrasound to Expel Calculi From the Kidney [PDF]
Journal of Urology, 2012 A persistent stone burden after renal stone treatment may result in future patient morbidity and potentially lead to additional surgery. This problem is particularly common after treatment of lower pole stones. We describe a potential noninvasive therapeutic option using ultrasound waves to create a force sufficient to aid in stone fragment expulsion ...
