The Effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy on Encrusted Memokath Stents

چکیده
The human urinary system consists of two main passageways: the ureters, which allow the flow of urine from the kidneys to the bladder, and the urethra through which urine is excreted from the body (Tortora and Derrickson, 2006). Due to various urinary disorders, ranging from kidney stones and urinary strictures to prostate enlargement and cancer, these passageways become obstructed (Vanderbrink et al., 2008). Urinary tract obstruction increases the risk of infection, stone formation and can result in functional renal impairment or permanent renal atrophy (Thomas and Stanley, 2007).
