| Popis: | A total of 100 whole stones was fragmented in vitro at 3-minute intervals with piezoelectric shock waves using the EDAP LT-01 device until all fragments were less than 2mm. Larger stones and stones with a high computerized tomography attenuation needed longer treatments for fragmentation. Smoothly bulging stones with an even structure according to plain x-ray films were also more resistant to the shock wave treatment. Calcium oxalate monohydrate stones were not more difficult to break than other types of calculi. Stone fragments from 100 patients after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy were also analyzed. The average size of the fragments collected was less than 1mm. Larger stones produced larger fragments and required more treatment sessions. |
