Doctors sometimes use ureteroscopy as part of shock wave lithotripsy, a treatment to break up kidney stones. This is most helpful for: ... Benefits and Risks. Ureteroscopy is an effective way to ...
Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) has proven to be a highly effective treatment for the removal of kidney stones. Shock waves (SW's) can be used to break most stone types, and …
Although shock wave lithotripsy is minimally invasive, earlier studies argued that it may increase patients' subsequent risk of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. This study evaluated the …
Patients at risk of stone recurrence (Table 3 31 and Table 4 2, 32 – 35) should be referred for additional metabolic testing (e.g., 24-hour urine collection for total volume, pH, and calcium ...
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a pioneering, noninvasive approach to managing urinary calculi, revolutionizing the landscape of urological care. This innovative procedure harnesses the power of shockwaves to fragment kidney and ureteral stones from outside the body, obviating the need for surgical incisions. Introduced in the …
Introduction. The use of anticoagulant (AC) and antiplatelet (AP) therapy is increasing worldwide. 1 Urologists are frequently presented with patients on AC or AP therapy and must balance these medications' thromboembolic protective effects with the potential increased risk of surgery-related bleeding. The practice of short-term periprocedural …
Abstract Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is an attractive and well-tolerated option for treatment of renal and ureteral calculi. Complications are infrequent, with the most common being bleeding, infection, and distal ureteral obstruction by fragments. Serious complications, including life-threatening bleeding, injury to surrounding …

Severe valve calcification increases risk of annular rupture during transcatheter aortic valve replacement. • A novel L6 lithotripsy balloon was used to modify valve calcium prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement. • Lithotripsy may enhance safety and effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve replacement with severe calcium.
important in selecting appropriate patients for lithotripsy. Currently, SWL is indicated for most uncomplicated upper urinary tract calculi; that is, an aggregate stone burden of <2 cm in kidneys with normal renal anatomy. Shock wave lithotripsy is also considered an appropriate alternative for the management of ureteral stones
