Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment in paraplegic patients with bladder stones

Abstract: Background : Spinal cord injury patients are at increased risk of developing urolithiasis and many will require treatment, most commonly with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Methods : We examined 20 consecutive spinal cord injury patients (all male) undergoing ESWL for the treatment of bladder stones between April 1992 and May 2000. The mean number of shock waves administered in these 20 patients was 3600 and the shock power was 19 kW/s. All patients were treated without anesthesia. After ESWL, t… Show more

“…One study reported ESWL to be effective in SCI patients, with no major complications when combined with urethral drainage with a sheath. 9 The lower reported complication rates associated with ESWL, when compared with the complication rates in our study, may be a result of selection bias as patients with a lower burden of smaller stones are more likely to be offered ESWL.…”

“…Nosotros no pudimos tratar mediante LEOC un cálculo renal en un paciente con severa cifoescoliosis, dada la anormal localización anatómica del riñón afecto. Posiblemente también se pueda tratar la litiasis vesical mediante LEOC en los afectos de MMC, al igual que se ha hecho en otros lesionados medulares 17 , completándola con la evacuación endoscópica de los fragmentos litíasicos prescindiendo de la necesidad de anestesia.…”

“…8,21 One case series of twenty patients with bladder stone with concurrent paraplegia have demonstrated 100% stone-free rate after ESWL session. 22 The stone free rate of ESWL compared favorably to patients who underwent either intracorporeal lithotripsy or sectio alta (stonefree-rate of 97% and 100% respectively). Both these studies mentioned above, included patients in which ESWL is the first procedure performed for bladder stone management.…”
