“…Of all the available stone apparatuses, the HM3-Dornier lithotripter is certainly the most efficient in terms of stone disintegration, even for very hard stones no matter where they are located in the collecting system [4, 14,16]. The broader focus provided by this device subjects the parenchyma to a larger number of shock waves, thus giving rise to the doubts expressed in the literature, namely the danger of parenchymal lesions and possible consequent scar formation with hypertonia [13,17].…”

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is standard therapy for urolithiasis. With comparable technical principles, various lithotripters have been developed and are in routine use. Renal pelvic stones, calyceal stones, ureteral stones, and other special forms can be treated with varying results. Currently, the so-called clinically insignificant residual fragments and the recurrence of calculi are under discussion. Whereas the side effects of ESWL are well known, studies comparing ESWL with other endourological procedures are still lacking.

“…Particu larly in such cases, according to our experience, the biplane fluoroscopic system of the Dornier HM3+ pro vides more information. It has to be noted that the learn ing curve of every fluoroscopic system for stone location is minimal [1,8,11,23,26].…”

“…How ever, only a few of them have proven to be efficacious in clinical trials. These are the Dornier HM4 [8,11], MPL 9000 [22], Sonolith 2000 [14,28] and Medstone 1050 [23], using an underwater electrode; the Siemens Lithostar [26], using an electromagnetic element, and the Wolf Piezolith 2200 [20,27,28] and EDAP LT01 [25], with piezoelectric elements for shock wave generation. Clini cal data have shown that these systems lead to sufficient stone disintegration in at least 80% of the cases.…”
