1. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for multiple stones is the most expensive and least effective option.

2. Therefore, we carried out a shock wave lithotripsy of the impacted stone in the cystic duct despite contraindications.

3. Three days after the last lithotripsy, the plain abdominal x ray showed no calcifications in the right upper abdomen.

4. Lithotripsy of a densely calcified gall bladder stone has been described in a case report.

5. Lasting success of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for biliary stones will depend on advances in secondary prevention.

6. In one centre(/lithotripsy.html), the use of mechanical lithotripsy increased the endoscopic clearance rate of duct stones from 86% to 94%.

7. How successful is extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy?

8. Lithotripsy; Nephrostomy, percutaneous; Kidney stone; Treatment outcome.

9. Recent findings: Despite advances in lithotripsy technology, bleeding continues to be a cause of patient morbidity in percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

10. Conclusion The combination of pyelolithotomy and ballast lithotripsy is a fairly effective approach to treat staghorn calculi.

11. Objective To summarize the experiences of pneumatic lithotripsy under ureteroscope for pyonephrosis due to calculus obstruction.

12. Conclusions : Transureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy is an effective and safe method for ureteral calculi.

13. Result all 42 patients completed lithotripsy through cystoscope with no complications.

14. Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) through ureteroscope in the treatment of ureterolithiasis.

15. Conclusions: Ureteroscopic electrokinetic lithotripsy was safe and effective method for treatment of ureteral stones.

16. The stone free rates after shock wave lithotripsy for upper, middle and lower ureteral calculi were 74.1, 100 and 75.9% respectively.

17. To evaluate intrasinusal pyelolithotomy with ballast lithotripsy in the treatment of staghorn calculi, the procedure was carried out in 27 cases.

18. Ultrasound was used for localisation of the stones, constant monitoring of fragmentation and refocusing of the larger fragments during lithotripsy.

19. Obstruction of the cystic duct and cholecystitis are regarded as absolute contraindications for gall stone lithotripsy.

20. Method 160 cases were randomized into group A and group B, with 80 cases for each. Pyelolithotomy plus ballast lithotripsy were performed in group A and nephrolithotomy in group B.

21. Methods: Retrospectively analysis the clinical materials (83 cases) of upper ureteral stone curred by percutaneous renal ureteroscope air-pressure lithotripsy.

22. Objective To investigate the best postures of patients with cystolithiasis for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy(ESWL) treatment.

23. The group found that there overall stone free rates after shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and open surgery were 75.4, 93.3, and 100% respectively.

24. Objective To compare the effect of nephrolithotomy with pyelolithotomy plus ballast lithotripsy anatrophic renal staghorn calculi.

25. Objective To compare the effect of nephrolithotomy with pyelolithotomy plus ballast lithotripsy for anatrophic renal staghorn calculi.

26. Methods A total of 20 pregnant women with ureteral calculus underwent holmium laser lithotripsy through ureteropyeloscopy.

27. Objective To compare the efficienty of bladder stone by extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy(ESWL) and energetically lithotrite.

28. Objective To explore the effects of pyelolithotomy and ballast lithotripsy in the treatment of staghorn calculi.

29. Methods The staghorn calculi of 46 patients were fragmented into several pieces with pyelolithotomy and ballast lithotripsy and were then taken out one by one.
