Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for kidney stones

The effect of music on state anxiety in patients undergoing extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy

“…and percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNL) has increased over time, while they are still first-line therapy in <2 cm kidney stones and <1 cm upper ureter stones. 14 Guidelines especially specify ESWL as first-line therapy in proximal ureter stones that are <1 cm. 1,15 Compared to the surgical treatment options of ESWL, it has the advantages of being the least invasive method, often does not require anaesthesia, can be applied on outpatients, and is more inexpensive than other methods.…”

Endoscopic in-situ recognition of urinary stones during LASER-induced stone fragmentation: a modern, effective and essential approach in the diagnostic process in urolithiasis

“…The so-called "stone free rate" therapeutic objective [10][11][12][13][14][15]17] is therefore now achievable. However, it must be underlined that the morphological type and related etiology are better indicators of stone recurrence than stone composition only.…”

“…[2,3] Meanwhile, it has a higher stone-free rate than extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. [4,5] However, RIRS is difficult to operate using traditional apparatus, owing to the complicated anatomical features of the urinary system. First, the apparatus has to travel through the narrow and long ureter.…”
