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

Urethral Urolithiasis in Male Cattle Treated Using Pneumatic Lithotripsy

Veterinary Research Communications, 2022
One of the most important problems encountered in cattle breeding is urethral urolithiasis. Urolithiasis can be treated using various methods, but they all carry risks. Thus, a continuous search is being carried out for alternatives in this field. This study aimed to treat urethral urolithiasis in male cattle using pneumatic lithotripsy, a minimally ...

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 ...
