Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) has remained the preferred method of treatment
of urinary stones since its introduction in 1980. Although SWL is classified as a potential first …

Clinical use of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the noninvasive management
of urinary calculi is highly effective and practical. But its results vary in relation to several …

Objective: To analyse the impact of stone composition on stone fragility (fragmentation) and
clearance of upper urinary tract stones after shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). Material and …

free rate after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) in treatment of upper urinary tract …

Objective To review with our experience the predictors of stone-free status after
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) on urinary stones. Methods The records of 68 …

Abstract Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is still the treatment of choice for
most renal and upper ureteric stones; however the outcome depends on multiple factors …

Several explanations have been suggested to account for the failure of extracorporeal
shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) treatment in patients with urinary stones, including large stone …

Voided stone fragments retrieved after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in 200
patients were sorted by size and analyzed by optical microscopy for composition. The most …

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of delivery rate of shockwaves (SW)
on stone comminution and treatment outcomes in patients with renal and ureteral stones …

Background: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has become the treatment of
