Methods From Feb. 2006 to Mar. 2007, 60 patients presented to our department with the upper urinary tract stones. Thirty-seven patients were renal stones and twentythree were ureteral stones. All patients with average stone burden of 1.5 cm were treated using a Dornier Compact S lithotripter. The total number of shock waves varied from 1 600 to 3 000 and the energy levels ranged from 1 to 6 units. Results For 37 renal stones, the fragmentation was 75. 67% （28cases） after one SWL session, 10.81% （4 cases） after2 SWL sessions, 5. 40% （2 cases） after 3 SWL sessions, and 2. 70% （1 case） after 4 SWL sessions. Two patients （5.40%） failed and changed to open surgery. For23 ureter calculus, the fragmentation was 82.60% （19cases） after one SWL session and l7. 40% （4cases） after 2 SWL sessions. Conclusion SWL is an effective and reliable treatment for patients with calculus after failure of endoscopic lithortripsy. However, it is very important for doctor to choose appropriate therapy. SWL is a remedy.展开更多

Methods Between April 1999 and June 2006, 60 patients presented to our department with infectious renal stones. Twenty-nine patients were treated by extracorporeal shock-wave lithortripsy(ESWL) only, 31 patients were given a combination therapy. Thirty-four males and 26 females were evaluated by routine urine tests including urine culture and sensitivity before ESWL treatments. The total number of shock waves varied from 1 600 to 2 800 and the energy levels ranged from 1 to 6 unit. Results The fragmentation after ESWL was 61.6%; 18.3% after 2 ESWL sessions, 8.3% after 3 ESWL sessions, 5.0% after 4 ESWL sessions, 3.3% after 7 ESWL sessions and 1.66% after 9 ESWL sessions. Only one (1.66%) patient failed and changed to open surgery. Conclusion ESWL is an effective and reliable treatment for patients with infectious renal stones. However, better effects and shorter treatment time is obtained by the combination therapy of ESWL with other therapy options.展开更多

Methods Of 31 patients, 20 were subjected to ESWL only, 6 were subjected to combination therapy of PCNL and ESWL, 2 Pneumatic Lithotriptor-ESWL, 3 Laser lithotripsy-ESWL. Results For 14 renal stones, the fragmentation after ESWL manotherapy was 85. 7% and 14.3% after twice ESWL sessions. For 17 ureter calculus, the fragmentation after ESWL manotherapy was 82.3% and 11.7% after twice ESWL sessions. One patient （ 5.8% ） failed and changed to open surgery. Conclusion ESWL is an effective and reliable method for treating patients with cystine calculus, however, better effects and shorter treatment time could be obtained by the combination of ESWL with other therapy options.展开更多
