| Such interactions are currently being used for laser assisted shock-wave lithotripsy for calculi in the biliary tree. |
|
| Renal calculi less than 2 cm in size can generally be treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. |
|
| Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is trying to find other niches than lithotripsy, particularly as a treatment for tendon related pain. |
|
| The other so-called revolutionary treatment is extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, where gallstones are crushed by sound waves. |
|
| Other treatments include surgery or lithotripsy – in which stones are smashed by applying ultrasonic waves to the outside of the abdomen. |
|
| The friend was a lawyer representing two groups of doctors who break up kidney stones with a procedure known as lithotripsy. |
|
| Another approach, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, uses shock waves to break up the stones into tiny pieces that can then pass easily out of the system. |
|
| Mechanical percussion techniques have been used therapeutically after shock wave lithotripsy to dislodge such calculi from the lower pole of the kidney. |
|
| For proximal ureteric stones, shock wave lithotripsy is useful if the stone is less than 1 cm in size, and ureteroscopy is more successful for stones larger than 1 cm. |
|
| Extracorporeal lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolitotomy and ureteroscopy allow treating urolithiasis. |
|
| The specialist can use lithotripsy to break the stones into smaller pieces. |
|
| All in all, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy seems to be the best choice for almost all types of calculosis. |
|
| If they fail to pass out of the body, they can be removed surgically or broken up nonsurgically by an ultrasound technique called lithotripsy. |
|
| A second operating room is dedicated to endoscopic surgery and to extra corporal lithotripsy. |
|
| Use of Gas Contrast Agents in a diagnostic ultrasound examination is not recommended within 24 hours before extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. |
|
| High fluid intake, alkalinization and a low-purine diet were prescribed, and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was performed. |
|
| Intracorporeal lithotripsy, when necessary, was performed with the Swiss lithoclast. |
|
| Shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy are two common modalities in the management of proximal ureteral stones. |
|
| There are several surgical options, which include shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy. |
|
| The versatile, modular design makes the Compact Sigma the optimal solution for all areas of urological diagnosis and therapy, including lithotripsy, endourology, percutaneous procedures and diagnostic X-ray. |
|
|
|
| A report on extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy results on 1,569 renal units in an outpatient clinic. |
|
| This new atomic imaging technology will help doctors decide when to use lithotripsy, a common but expensive kidney stone treatment that is ineffective if the stone is too hard. |
|
| The Gemini is a premium urological workstation with integrated lithotripsy, providing the best in class urological functionality. |
|
| Shock wave therapy, also known as lithotripsy, uses sound waves to break down smaller kidney stones, allowing the particles to pass harmlessly out of the body through urine. |
|
| Other potential sources of interference include radiotherapy, neurostimulators, electrosurgery, radiofrequency catheter ablation of arrhythmias, and lithotripsy. |
|
| Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy have been performed since the early 1980s to surgically treat patients with renal stones. |
|
| Pneumatic lithotripsy was performed extracorporeally via incision. |
|
| Previous studies conducted on this subject have demonstrated a reverse correlation between the HU and extra corporeal shock wave lithotripsy for stone breakability. |
