ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
An experience of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) using the Piezolith 2300 lithotriptor in 2077 (2223 renal units) patients with urinary tract calculi is presented. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The records of 2077 patients who underwent an ESWL between April 1990 and March 2001 were reviewed retrospectively. The ESWL treatment sessions, success rate, auxiliary procedures, and complications according to the stone size and location were analyzed.RESULTS:
Of 2223 renal units (2077 patients), 781 (35.1%) had renal, 1150 (51.7%) had ureteral and 292 (13.2%) had multiple stones. Of these cases 1116 (50.2%) had stones 3.0cm in size, with an 86.4% overall success rate. For auxiliary measures, the push back procedure was done in 23 cases. The treatment modalities of the unsuccessful cases were open surgery in 95 cases and ureteroscopic stone removal in 31. A stone street developed in 93 patients. However, there were no other significant complications.CONCLUSIONS:
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy with a piezolith 2300 lithotriptor is to be a safe and efficient outpatient procedure for the initial treatment of properly selected urinary tract calculi.
