Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2009 Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is the process of fragmentation of renal or ureteric stones by the use of repetitive shock waves generated outside the body and focused onto the stone. Following its introduction in 1980, SWL revolutionized the treatment of kidney stones by offering patients a non-invasive procedure.

Percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy [PDF]
Urologic Radiology, 1984 Percutaneous renal calculus removal has evolved rapidly over the past 4 years. Percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy (PUL), based on access to the kidney via a percutaneous nephrostomy track, consists of fragmentation and removal of calculi under visual nephroscopic control. Clinical experience has proven this modality to be safe, reliable, and effective
