[Results of clinical use of the polyfunctional lithotripsy device "Dornier-U 50"].
The review of the results of clinical application of a polyfunctional lithotriptor Dornier-U50 in urolithiasis patients is presented. The treatment of 324 patients produced good results of lithotripsy in uroliths of any location in generating high-energy shock waves. Complete fragmentation was achieved in 86.4%, partial one--in 11.7%. Complications occurred in 9% of which 5.3% were cases of upper urinary obstruction. The Dornier-U50 lithotriptor can be used for both extracorporeal lithotripsy (under x-ray and ultrasound targeting) and various endoscopic operations under x-ray telecontrol. This allows maximal utilization efficiency of this equipment in diagnosis and treatment in urological hospitals.
