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

LASER LITHOTRIPSY VS PNEUMATIC LITHOTRIPSY IN URETERIC STONE REMOVAL: A CONTROLLED TRIAL

Journal of Population Therapeutics and Clinical Pharmacology
Ureteric stones represent a significant proportion of urolithiasis cases and are a common cause of emergency department visits worldwide. Minimally invasive endourological techniques have become the mainstay for definitive stone management, with ureteroscopic lithotripsy being widely used due to its safety, efficacy, and rapid recovery.

Operative Failure during Ureteroscopic Pneumatic Lithotripsy: Factors Affecting Successful Outcome

Urologia Internationalis, 2006
<i>Aim:</i> We aimed to evaluate the predictive factors that would in turn indicate stone migration and the effects of these factors on the ultimate success of the intervention. <i>Method:</i> Patients were divided into two groups with respect to the migration of the stone treated. Group I: patients demonstrating stone migration

Pneumatic v Electrokinetic Lithotripsy in Treatment of Ureteral Stones

Journal of Endourology, 1998
Recently, a new device (Combilith) for electrokinetic lithotripsy (EKL) has become available which is very similar to the well-known device for pneumatic (ballistic) lithotripsy (Swiss Lithoclast). The Lithoclast uses air pressure to push a projectile within the handpiece against the end of a metal probe, which is thereby accelerated and thrown like a ...

Holmium: YAG Laser Lithotripsy Versus Pneumatic Lithotripsy for Treatment of Distal Ureteral Calculi: A Meta-Analysis

Journal of Endourology, 2013
The objective of this study was to estimate the treatment effect of Pneumatic Lithotripsy (PL) versus holmium: YAG laser lithotripsy (LL) in the treatment of distal ureteric calculi. A bibliographic search covering the period from 1990 to April 2012 was conducted using search engines such as MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane library.

[Comparative study of pneumatic lithotripsy and holmium laser lithotripsy for ureteral stones].

Zhong nan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Central South University. Medical sciences, 2006
To compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic laser lithotripsy (LL) and endoscopic pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) for ureteral stones.We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 415 patients with ureteral calculi treated with endoscopic laser lithotripsy (n = 214 ) and pnumatic lithotripsy (n = 201 ).The overall successful fragmentation rate of ...
