title: [Experience with the Direx Tripter X-1].
abstract: In nonselected patients 81.5% stone-free rate could be reached in 3 months. In authors's opinion Direx Tripter X-1 is suitable in the treatment of renal and ureteral calculi. They treated staghorn calculi by ESWL monotherapy with success. The Direx lithotripter was found to be effective and easy to operate; the potential cost reduction is of great significance. The treatment requires general anaesthesia and the equipment causes significant noise. After all, Direx lithotripter is a useful machine in the armamentarium of stone disease treatment.
