[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.

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

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 ...
