[Clinical tests on reno-ureteral lithiasis with a new Lithostar 2 model C shock wave generator system].
Lithotripsy has confirmed its place in the treatment of urinary stones and there are now few indications for open surgery in this disease. Lithotripsy used to be rarely used, as it required a great deal of patience on the part of the patient, lying in the water bath, and the medical team. Increasing efficient systems are now available with a marked advantage for patients. Simple analgesia-sedation is often sufficient when requested by the patients and the duration of treatment has been considerably decreased. The authors present a review of their results with the new Lithostar 2 Model C shock wave generator system. The modifications made to this system take into account physical possibilities and medical requirements. As a result of the new configuration of this system, the treatment time per patient has been further decreased, a higher energy is applied to the stones and the disintegration rate is excellent.
