[Stone burden on extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy].
Based on the 89 stones treated by ESWL therapy alone, the factors which influence the number of ESWL shots were analyzed. Stone volume was calculated by summing up the value "length x short axis" for each stone. The value correlated well with the number of shots needed to disintegrate the stone (p less than 0.01). The stones below the pelvis-ureteral junction needed twice shots compared with st...
متن کاملExtracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of pancreatic stones.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of pancreatic stones was performed in eight patients with chronic pancreatitis and a dilated duct system harbouring stones 5 to 20 mm (means 10 (SD) 5 mm) in diameter. After endoscopic sphincterotomy of the pancreatic orifice the stones were disintegrated by shock waves under fluoroscopic control using a kidney lithotripter (Dornier HM3). The procedure was ...

Concrement lithotripsy in the kidney and ureter using extracorporeal shock waves (ESWL) was performed with the aid of a 2nd-generation lithotriptor--Lithostar Siemens. Over a period of 11 months ESWL was applied in 526 patients aged 7 to 80 years, 10 of these were children. 19 patients had bilateral lithiasis so that the treatment was applied to a total of 545 renoureteral units and 698 concrem...
متن کاملRisk factors for complications of pancreatic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is recommended as treatment for stones in chronic pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for complications of pancreatic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (P-ESWL). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with painful chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic stones (> 5 mm diameter) who were treated with P-E...
متن کاملExtracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy allows successful endoscopic removal of a fractured stone basket trapped in the pancreatic duct.
A51-year-oldmanwith chronicpancreatitis presented with recurrent postprandial epigastric pain. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed a9-mmpancreaticolith in the main pancreatic duct (MPD) of the head portion. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)wasperformed to remove the pancreaticolith. After the pancreatic duct had been cannulated, sphincterotomy was performed. We ...
