Abstract
In the 1980s, the surgical treatment for urinary caliculi in Japan, changed from open surgery, which aims to remove the urinary calculi completely, to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which aims only to crush the stone and the endoscopic procedure which aims mainly to cr...

Abstract
The use of shock wave therapy (ESWT) and radial pressure-wave therapy (rESWT) is controversial in chronic musculoskeletal pain. The aim of this literature review is to assess the effect of these therapies in rotator cuff syndrome with and without calcium deposits, lateral epicondylitis and planar fa...

Abstract
Urinary stones are a common and costly problem. Although shockwave lithotripsy is the mainstay of treatment for stones, a number of other surgical tools and approaches may be beneficial to some patients. Newer diagnostic techniques and technologies are improving our ability to determine the size, lo...

Abstract
Advances in radiology have led to improvements in care for patients with urinary tract stones. One of the most promising imaging techniques is dual-energy CT, which enables more accurate characterization of stone disease than other imaging techniques and helps direct therapy at the time of the initi...

Abstract
A 62-year-old man was admitted to receive extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for a right renal pelvic calculus. During the operation, the patient complained of right upper quadrant pain. Later in the day, laboratory data showed elevated serum amylase levels, and abdominal CT revealed an en...

Abstract
We conducted a retrospective analysis of mean stone CT density (MSD) and skin-to-stone distance (SSD) to determine their influence on the success of SWL of renal and ureteric calculi. Data from all patients treated at the St. Michael's Hospital Lithotripsy Unit from May 2004 to June 2009 were review...

Abstract
Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is widely viewed as an effective noninvasive method to break stones within the kidney and ureter. However, it is a technology that is not without trauma to the kidney--acute vascular, tubular and interstitial damage is often reported that if severe enough can lead to ren...

Abstract
Following the successful introduction for treatment of urolithiasis in adults in the early 1980s, shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) rapidly became a standard treatment for children with urolithiasis as well. SWL in children results in stone-free rates of 60-80% with contemporary equipment. Complication r...

Abstract
ESWL can eradicate salivary calculi but its effectiveness is dependant mainly on size of the stone. Using a regression analysis model stone clearance can be reliably predicted based on stone size. A less important factor is the radiodensity of the stone, whereas a greater proportion of parotid calcu...

Abstract
Shock wave lithotripsy in the supine position through the greater and lesser ischiadic foramina as the path of shock wave treats distal ureteral stones in young children with an excellent success rate and few side effects.

Abstract
To our knowledge we present the first multi-institutional cohort study in children demonstrating no significant relationship between successful outcome and patient age, gender, body mass index, stone location or number of stones. Only total stone diameter independently predicted shock wave lithotrip...
