  • Title: Ultrasonic renal lithotripsy. Single-stage percutaneous technique and adjuvant radiological procedures.
    Author: Bush WH, Brannen GE, Burnett LL, Wales LR.
    Journal: Radiology; 1984 Aug; 152(2):387-9. PubMed ID: 6739804.
    Abstract:
    Single-stage percutaneous ultrasonic disintegration and removal of renal calculi was attempted in 67 patients (80 calculi) and proved successful in 65 (97%). Extraction was achieved during the initial session in 52 patients (78%) and required either an adjuvant radiological procedure or repeat nephroscopy in 13. Single-stage removal combines the skills of the radiologist and urologist and is successful in the majority of cases.
