[Treatment of kidney stones using shock-wave lithotripsy with sonographic control].
Lithotripsy by means of an extracorporeal shock-wave was performed in 128 patients with urolithiasis. In this group for the first time in Czechoslovakia ultrasound control of kidney stones was used in 44 patients; in the remainder X-ray control was used. The authors used equipment designed and manufactured locally. The ultrasonic probe is laterally connected with the shock-wave applicator. Disappearance of the fragments after lithotripsy was achieved in 39 patients where ultrasonic control was used. The paper presents the results, discusses the advantages and limitations of ultrasonic control in extracorporeal lithotripsy of urolithiasis.
