Technological Developments

Technological developments in ureteroscopy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) have changed the treatment of ureteral stones over the last decade. “In situ” ESWL is now the treatment of choice in the management of ureteral calculi. Ureterolithotripsy should be preferred in certain cases, however, especially when the stone cannot be perfectly sighted or when the urinary tract needs to be drained due to obstruction and/or sepsis, with a saving of one ESWL session in 50% of patients. Current options that can be applied with lithotripsy are: electrohydraulic, laser, ultrasound and ballistic tripsy. The authors describe their experience with the Lithoclast in 82 patients. This technique has proved to be simple, safe, effective and particularly economic.
