  • Title: [The role of Lithoclast in the endo-urologic treatment of urinary calculi (kidney and ureteral)].
    Author: Chaabouni MN, Mhiri MN, Teillac P, Letaief Y, Le Duc A.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1994; 28(2):79-83. PubMed ID: 8210215.
    Abstract:
    The authors report their experience of the use of the Lithoclast in endocorporeal lithotripsy in 19 patients. This modality allowed the fragmentation of 24 renal stones and 14 ureteric stones with complete success in 58% of cases and partial success in 42% of cases. No failures of stone fragmentation were observed in this series with the Lithoclast. The authors consider this apparatus to be an effective and inexpensive method of endocorporeal lithotripsy for all types of urinary stones.
