title: [Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy on the Sonolith-3000 apparatus].
abstract: The authors observed 812 patients with nephrolithiasis who underwent 876 sessions of shock-wave lithotripsy on Sonolith-3000 lithotriptor supplied with an ultrasonic system of the stone localization. The size of nephroliths ranged from 0.7 to 4.2 cm. Large-size nephroliths required repeated sessions and pretreatment establishment of the stent. The procedure proceeded without anesthesia. Subsequent renal colic was reported in 126 (15.5%), an exacerbation of pyelonephritis in 45 (5.5%), subcapsular hematoma in 4 (0.5%) of the patients. 790 patients showed clinical response (97.3%), with a complete destruction of the stone in 446 (54.9%) and partial one in 344 (42.4%) cases. 27 subjects were treated in outpatient setting. According to the authors, lithotripsy is contraindicated in urinary tract obstruction below the stone, renal failure, chronic pyelonephritis in the active phase of inflammation, marked impairment of cardiac rhythm.
