Intracorporeal Pneumatic Lithotripsy for Ureteral and Vesical Calculi

Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 1997
To evaluate the effectiveness of pneumatic lithotripsy, 92 patients with 98 lower or mid-ureteric calculi and 8 with vesical calculi were treated with pneumatic lithotripsy (Swiss Lithoclast) under spinal anaesthesia. Successful stone fragmentation was achieved in 96 patients.

Pneumatic Lithotripsy versus Laser Lithotripsy in the Endoscopic Treatment of Ureteral Calculi

Journal of Endourology, 2001
To compare the efficacy, safety, and features of pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) with those of laser lithotripsy (LL) and present our clinical experience in the endoscopic management of ureteral calculi.From August 1994 to February 2000, 285 consecutive patients underwent endoscopic lithotripsy with either the Swiss Lithoclast pneumatic lithotripter (145 ...

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 ...

Comparison between shockpulse and pneumatic lithotripsy in percutaneous nephrolithotomy

World Journal of Urology, 2020
To compare the effectiveness and safety of shockpulse with pneumatic lithotripsy in percutaneous nephrolithotomy.A prospective randomized comparative study was performed in Department of Urology, Bir Hospital for 1-year duration with 61 patients in shockpulse (Group 1) and 58 patients in pneumatic lithoclast (Group 2) groups, respectively.

[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.

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.

Tissue Damage from Ultrasonic, Pneumatic, and Combination Lithotripsy

Journal of Endourology, 2015
Purpose: To conduct a comparative evaluation of ultrasonic, pneumatic, and dual ultrasonic (DUS) lithotripsy to predict the safety of probes on urinary tract tissue. Materials and Methods: The Swiss Lithoclast Ultra (ultrasonic-only ...

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.

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 ...

QUANTIFICATION OF THE TIP MOVEMENT OF LITHOTRIPSY FLEXIBLE PNEUMATIC PROBES

The Journal of Urology, 2000
We developed an optical system to quantify in vitro tip movement of the Lithoclastdouble dagger flexible probe, and correlated various physical parameters of the vibrating probe tip with resultant stone fragmentation.A noncontact optical measurement system was developed to quantify in vitro tip movement of the Lithoclast flexible probe. This system and
