Intracorporeal Lithotripsy: Electrohydraulic, Pneumatic, and Ultrasonic

2012
The evolution of ureteroscopy using electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL), pneumatic lithotripsy (PL), and ultrasonic lithotripsy (USL) for the treatment of ureteral stones offered a much less invasive alternative to contemporary open ureterolithotomy, and a was major advancement for the fledgling field of endourology.

Laboratory and Clinical Assessment of Pneumatically Driven Intracorporeal Lithotripsy

Journal of Endourology, 1998
A pneumatically driven intracorporeal lithotripter (the Swiss Lithoclast) has recently been approved for use in the United States. We compared its performance in vitro with ultrasonic, electrohydraulic and laser lithotripsy devices using a standard plaster-of-Paris stone phantom.

[Pneumatic contact lithotripsy].

Urologiia i nefrologiia, 1995
The safety and clinical efficacy of electrohydraulic, ultrasonic and pneumatic lithotriptors were compared in experiments on dog ureters and plaster plates. Electrohydraulic and pneumatic were most effective contact lithotriptors. The safest of them was pneumatic, ultrasonic was safer than electrohydraulic.

Ultrasonic, Pneumatic and Combination Intracorporeal Lithotripsy for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

Journal of Endourology, 2009
Refinements in ultrasonic and pneumatic lithotriptors, as well as the development of new dual-modality lithotriptors, have increased the options available for the endourologist. Studies comparing the efficiency of the devices in both bench and clinical models help provide the endourologist with guidance in selecting the most appropriate lithotrite.A ...

Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Laser Lithotripsy with Pneumatic Lithotripsy in Miniperc for Renal Calculi.

Journal of Endourology, 2013
The energy source used for stone fragmentation is important in miniperc. In this study, we compared the stone fragmentation characteristics and outcomes of laser lithotripsy and pneumatic lithotripsy in miniperc for renal calculi.After Institutional Review Board approval, 60 patients undergoing miniperc for renal calculi of 15 to 30 mm were equally ...

INTRALUMINAL PNEUMATIC LITHOTRIPSY FOR THE REMOVAL OF ENCRUSTED URINARY CATHETERS

Journal of Urology, 1999
Urologists frequently treat patients requiring long-term urinary drainage with a percutaneous nephrostomy tube or ureteral stent. When such tubes are neglected and become encrusted, removal challenges even experienced urologists. We describe a new, minimally invasive technique for safely and rapidly removing encrusted, occluded tubes using the Swiss ...

[Pneumatic lithotripsy vs Holmium: YAG Laser lithotripsy for the treatment of ureteral stones.]

Archivos espanoles de urologia, 2021
Pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) and Ho: YAG laser lithotripsy (LL) are the most widely accepted methods in the endoscopic treatment of ureteral lithiasis. The objective is to compare efficacy and safety of pneumatic lithotripsy vs. Ho: YAG laser lithotripsy in the treatment of ureteral lithiasis.Prospective, single-blind, multicenter study.
