Endoscopic lithotripsy is a procedure used for the removal of large stones in the common bile duct that cannot be removed after sphincterotomy. This procedure causes fragmentation of large stones, which allows easier retrieval of stones by other instruments such as balloons or baskets.

Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy and Laser Lithotripsy
2017Mechanical lithotripsy is usually employed for the fragmentation of large common bile duct (CBD) stones. However, refractory CBD stones, stones larger than 2 cm in size, those firmly impacted, those located above a bile duct stricture, and those located in the intrahepatic bile duct, or cases of Mirizzi syndrome are difficult to treat.

The indications for ureteroscopic lithotripsy have increased with endoscope miniaturization and powerful, precise endoscopic lithotrites like the holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser. Successful ureteropyeloscopic treatment with the currently available instrumentation and techniques is independent of the size, composition, and location of stones in ...

We have performed percutaneous extractions of renal pelvic stones in 194 patients via the Wolf percutaneous universal nephroscope. At 1 session, with the patient under general anesthesia, a percutaneous tract is dilated to 24F and the stone is removed immediately.

At Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, we began performing lithotripsy with the Medstone STS lithotripter for gallstones in January 1988 and in the first year treated 81 patients. Fifty-five of these patients were available for 4-month follow-up.

Urolithiasis, 2017
Since the introduction of ESWL, PNL and URS during the early 1980s the application rate of ESWL has declined while those of PNL and URS have increased. This is mainly due to the facts that instruments and techniques for Intracorporeal Lithotripsy (IL) have made a continuous progress.

Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been applied to patients with gallstones since the mid-1980s. Lithotriptors differ by their means of shock-wave generation, the mechanisms by which they are coupled to the patient, and their imaging systems.

Holmium:YAG lithotripsy of uric acid calculi produces cyanide. The laser and stone parameters required to produce cyanide are poorly defined. In this study, we tested the hypotheses that cyanide production: (1) varies with holmium:YAG power settings; (2) varies among holmium:YAG, pulsed-dye, and alexandrite lasers; and (3) occurs during holmium:YAG ...

All literature related to laser lithotripsy published within the past year was reviewed. Salient articles have been reviewed and grouped according to safety issues, efficacy, comparison studies, biliary applications or future directions.There is no evidence of renal deterioration after holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet lithotripsy.

Biliary Lithotripsy: A Perspective
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1989Excerpt The initial reports (1, 2) on gallstone fragmentation using extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy have been received with almost unbridled enthusiasm by some physicians and hospital adminis...
