Emerging Technologies in Ultrasonic and Pneumatic Lithotripsy

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2019
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is the treatment of choice for large renal stones. Larger, straight access tracts allow for use of rigid pneumatic and ultrasonic lithotripsy devices. Through advanced technologies, more efficient fragmentation has become possible, allowing for a variety of treatment options depending on stone location, size, and ...

Salivary Stone Pneumatic Lithotripsy in a Live Porcine Model

Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2016
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic fragmentation and removal of artificial calculi in a live porcine model employing intracorporeal pneumatic lithotripsy. In this experimental study, 7 submandibular ducts were accessed and artificial calculi placed.

Ureteroscopy and pneumatic lithotripsy, followed by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for the treatment of distal ureteral stones

International Journal of Urology, 2002
AbstractBackground: We retrospectively reviewed our experience with retrograde ureteroscopy (URS) and a pneumatic lithotriptor in 160 patients with distal ureteral stones to determine whether prior extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a limiting factor in the ureteroscopic procedure.Methods: From January 1999 to September 2000, we performed ...

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 ...

URERTEROSCOPIC LASER LITHOTRIPSY IS BETTER THAN PNEUMATIC LITHOTRIPSY FOR URETRIC STONES

GLOBAL JOURNAL FOR RESEARCH ANALYSIS, 2023
Background: Among various intra-corporeal lithotripters, pneumatic lithotripter has become the widely used tool for the treatment of urinary stones. Recently the holmium: YAG laser has been used with a wide range of potential urological applications, including intra-corporeal lithotripsy of urinary calculi. Aims and objective: Compare the effectiveness

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 ...
