Management of urinary tract calculi by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
From July 1989 to April 1993, Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) was performed on 642 patients, of which 21 were from the pediatric age group. All treatments were done on a second generation lithotriptor-Siemens Lithostar, which does not require any modification for positioning of children. Fragmentation was achieved in all the patients (100%). A complete stone free rate was achieved i...

Thirty patients (16 men and 14 women) with cystine urinary stones were treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (Dormer HM-3) from December 1984 through October 1989. The average patient age was 35.2 years with a range of 14 to 59 years. Seventy per cent of these subjects had had previous open surgical operations for stones. The cases consisted of 7 ureteral stones and 37 renal stones, ...
متن کاملFactors affecting urinary calculi treatment by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is still the treatment of choice for most renal and upper ureteric stones; however the outcome depends on multiple factors. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of stone density, as measured by Hounsfield Units (H.U) by non-contrast Computerized Tomography (CT), stone size and stone location on ESWL treatment outcome of urinary ...
متن کامل[Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy].
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 کاملLong-term follow-up after treatment of common bile duct stones by extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The efficacy of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of difficult bile duct stones that were not amenable to routine endoscopic extraction was assessed, with evaluation of the long-term follow-up after successful treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-four patients (mean age 74 years, range 33-92) were treated with ESWL for difficult bile duct stones. Treatmen...
