Initial Clinical Experience of the Swiss Lithoclast in Ureteral stone
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Currently several modalities are available for performing intracorporeal lithotripsy including ultrasound, electrohydraulic and laser procedures. WE report our initial clinical experience with a new ad unique technology for performing
intracorporeal
lithotripsy, namely the Swiss Lithoclast. 35 patients were performed for removal of ureteral stone. This device successfully fragmented 31 of 35 ureteral calculi(89%).
Complications of stone removal were gross hematuria (3 cases), high fever (2 cases). All complications were treated successfully with conservative management. In conclusion, we have found the ability of the Swiss Lithoclast to fragment stones
safely and
without significant complications.
