Holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy for urolithiasis in horses.
BACKGROUND Laser lithotripsy has been used as an alternative to surgical removal of uroliths. OBJECTIVE To describe the procedure and efficacy of laser lithotripsy for removal of lower urinary tract uroliths in horses. Additionally, the ultrastructure and the differences in mineralogy and microstructure from 1 successful and 1 unsuccessful laser lithotripsy case are described. ANIMALS Six c...
متن کامل[Extracorporeal lithotripsy for the treatment of urolithiasis in children].
OBJECTIVE Urinary lithiasis affects between five and 10% of the human population during their lifetime, only 2-3% of whom are children. Therapy of urolithiasis in the pediatric age group with minimally invasive methodology represents an attractive alternative. This study presents results of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, a minimally invasive methodology, for the treatment of urinary lith...
متن کامل[Anesthesia-free extracorporeal piezoelectric shock wave lithotripsy for urolithiasis].
In November 1991, a third generation extracorporeal shock wave lithotriptor (Piezolith 2500) was installed in our clinic. We examined the effective and safe aspect of this machine for urolithiasis. From November 1991 to October 1993, we experienced 530 sessions of ESWL treatment on 235 patients (270 cases). All patients except two underwent ESWL treatment without anesthesia, and in situ ESWL tr...
متن کاملIntracorporeal laser lithotripsy
OBJECTIVES To review the current literature on intracorporeal laser lithotripsy. METHODS We searched PubMed for relevant reports up to January 2012, using the keywords 'laser', 'lithotripsy' and 'intracorporeal'. RESULTS We studied 125 relevant reports of studies with various levels of evidence. Efficient lithotripsy depends on the laser variables (wavelength, pulse duration and pulse energ...
متن کاملPulsed dye laser lithotripsy for ureteric calculi.
Laser has proven to be an effective and safe method of treating ureteral stones. When the electromagnetic energy of a laser pulse is selectively absorbed by stone, a plasma fonns at the surface. This plasma, which is composed of ions and electrons, continues to absorb laser energy reaching very high pressure and generating a shock wave that fragment the stone. The degree of stone fragmentation ...
