comparative study to evaluate safety and efficacy of pneumatic versus laser lithotripsy in pediatric mini-percutaneous nephrolithotripsy

Minia Journal of Medical Research
Introduction In an effort to lessen the risk of complications during surgery, mini-PCNL—a diminutive version of the traditional PCNL—was developed. When planning a standard or mini-PCNL, the lithotripter is just as crucial as the operating duration ...

Utility of Direct Peroral Cholangioscopy Using a Multibending Ultraslim Endoscope for Difficult Common Bile Duct Stones

Gut and Liver, 2022
Background/Aims: Treatment options for difficult bile duct stones are limited. Direct peroral cholangioscopy (POC)-guided lithotripsy may be an option. A newly developed multibending (MB) ultraslim endoscope has several structural features optimized for ...

Pneumatic Lithotripsy Versus Laser Lithotripsy for Ureteral Stones

Journal of Lasers in Medical Sciences, 2018
Introduction: Several different modalities are available for ureteral stone fragmentation. From them pneumatic and holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho: YAG) lithotripsy have supportive outcomes. In this study we studied 250 subjects who had ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) or laser lithotripsy (LL).

Comparison of lithotripsy methods during mini-PNL: is there a role for ballistic lithotripsy in the era of high-power lasers

BMC Urology
Background For renal stones > 20 mm, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) offers the best stone clearance rates with acceptable complication rates. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of high-power holmium YAG laser and ballistic lithotripsy during ...
