Cavitation in shock wave lithotripsy
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003A case is presented for the important role of cavitation in stone comminution and tissue injury in shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). Confocal hydrophones and a coincidence algorithm were used to detect cavitation in kidney parenchyma. Elevated hydrostatic pressure dissolved cavitation nuclei and suppressed cell injury and stone comminution in vitro.

Temporal Effects of Shock Wave Lithotripsy
Journal of Urology, 1991Previous studies have demonstrated that renal parenchymal injury following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is dependent upon shock wave power as well as the total number of shock waves administered. In order to determine the deleterious effects of temporal versus cumulative doses of shock wave administration, adult female rabbits were divided ...

New Generation Shock Wave Lithotripsy
Journal of Urology, 1987Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has been clinically successful for more than 5 years. Currently, several devices commonly termed second generation lithotriptors are under experimental or clinical trials. We present a prototype multifunctional urological table that uses a new mode of shock wave generation along with local coupling to the patient ...

Extracorporeal Shock-Wave Lithotripsy for Children
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1988We report the cases of 17 children between the ages of 3 and 17 years who underwent 19 treatments using extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy. Stone size averaged 14.9 mm, with a range of 3 to 25 mm. The number of shock waves delivered averaged 1720, with a range of 600 to 2000. Treatment time averaged 36 minutes, with a range of 15 to 55 minutes.

Electrohydraulic and Extracorporeal Shock-Wave Lithotripsy
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1999The literal meaning of lithotripsy is the "act of breaking stones." There are two forms of lithotripsy available for use in veterinary medicine: electrohydraulic shock-wave lithotripsy (EHL) and extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL). With EHL, a shock-wave is generated immediately adjacent to a urolith within the urinary bladder.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy in Children
Journal of Urology, 1987Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has proved to be an effective method of treating upper urinary tract calculi. We report on 14 patients 17 years old or younger who were treated with the Dornier lithotriptor. Special adjustments of the gantry and water level, as well as shielding of the lungs, were necessary in those children less than 135 cm.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) remains the only noninvasive modality in lithotripsy and still contributes to more than half of all urinary stone treatments worldwide; however, success rates vary significantly because different equipment and protocols are used.

Complications of Shock Wave Lithotripsy
2013Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) was introduced to clinical urologic practice in the 1980s with Dornier’s HM3 lithotripter and has become a common first-line treatment modality for urolithiasis (Chaussy et al., J Urol 127:417–20, 1982). Initial SWL results were promising, and since that time, SWL has become the most commonly performed treatment for renal ...

New Concepts in Shock Wave Lithotripsy
Urologic Clinics of North America, 2007This monograph reviews the basic principles of shock wave lithotripsy. The focus is on new research on stone fragmentation and tissue injury and how this improved understanding of shock-wave technology is leading to modifications in lithotripsy that will allow this therapy to be a safer, more effective treatment for nephrolithiasis.

Biliary Extracorporeal Shock-Wave Lithotripsy
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1991Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has become standard therapy for the treatment of kidney stones since its introduction in 1980; a similar technique is now being used for many patients with gallstones. This article reviews the technique of biliary ESWL, examines the results of clinical studies to date, and makes recommendations as to who may
