“…Since the autologous blood clot technique requires blood and involves the formation of clots, ultrasonic propulsion has emerged as a novel device-related technique that repositions the stone within the collection system using short pulses of focused ultrasound and can generate real-time ultrasound images to guide the focused ultrasound to the stone. In one study, the researchers inserted an artificial stone (2.5–8 mm) into a kidney model and then repositioned the stone using focused ultrasound with a first-generation device [30]. The focused ultrasound repositioned the stone in a controlled manner at a speed of approximately 1 cm/s, facilitating movement of the artificial stone.…”

Background: Although significant progress has been made in treatment techniques for renal and ureteral calculi, residual fragments (RF) persisting long after treatment pose a serious threat to patients’ health. A variety of novel physical techniques and extraction devices are currently being developed to promote the removal of RF from the urinary system, and a series of in vivo experiments have demonstrated their safety and efficacy. Summary: External physical vibration lithecbole, magnetic extraction, biocompatible stone adhesive-based methods, and ultrasonic propulsion technologies are examples of innovative therapies that can promote the clearance of RF and improve the stone-free rate. In conclusion, the physical treatment of these RF needs to be optimized and improved. They are a promising technique for improving the efficiency of endovascular urology, and further in vivo studies are needed to confirm their safety and efficacy. Key Messages: We have summarized the literature on removal of RF by physical methods in recent years, especially the new progress.
