[Endourological lithotripsy for stone removal: accidental fragmentation of dormia basket and guidewire - a brief overview].
Endoscopic lithotripsy of stones is one of the most frequently performed procedures in urology. Sometimes dormia baskets and guidewire will be fragmented accidentally by the laser (Hol:YAG), by ultrasound, or by mechanical lithotripsy (electromechanical or pneumatic).A search for articles on this subject was performed. The aim of this article is to provide a review about the literature on this subject and how this subject can be managed. In this article we describe the energy needed for destroying specific foreign bodies and what currently and in the future will be the best way to avoid this problem.
