The collapse of single bubbles and approximation of the far-field acoustic emissions for cavitation induced by shock wave lithotripsy [PDF]

, 2011
Recent clinical trials have shown the efficacy of a passive acoustic device used during shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) treatment. The device uses the far-field acoustic emissions resulting from the interaction of the therapeutic shock waves with the tissue

comparative study to evaluate safety and efficacy of pneumatic versus laser lithotripsy in pediatric mini-percutaneous nephrolithotripsy

Minia Journal of Medical Research
Introduction In an effort to lessen the risk of complications during surgery, mini-PCNL—a diminutive version of the traditional PCNL—was developed. When planning a standard or mini-PCNL, the lithotripter is just as crucial as the operating duration ...

Transurethral Approach for Management of Large Stone Formed on Staples in a Female Patient With Orthotopic Neobladder Assisted by Transurethral Amplatz Sheath and LithoClast Trilogy

Case Reports in Urology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bladder stones occurring in orthotopic neobladders are remote late complications with a reported incidence of 5%. They can be managed with open, endoscopic, or robotic‐assisted approaches. A transurethral endoscopic approach is usually offered for smaller stone burdens, while larger stones are often treated by a percutaneous endoscopic or open approach.
