Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of midureteral stones using the Dornier HM-3.
Fifty-three patients were treated in the prone position for stones located in the pre-sacral ureter.  Cases were performed at the Orange County Kidney Stone Center by 28 urologists from March 1988-November 1989.  A Dornier HM-3 Lithotripter with the original generator, 15.6-cm ellipse, and computerized gantry was used.  No repeat treatment was utilized in this series and three failures resulted.
