Stone removal can improve renal function by eradicating obstruction and underlying infection; however, the stone-removing procedure may negatively impact the functional integrity of the targeted kidney.
Purpose: We studied the long-term impact of shock wave lithotripsy on renal function, stone recurrence and hypertension in patients with a solitary kidney. Patients with a solitary kidney provide a unique opportunity to evaluate any clinically significant change in renal function.
6 maj 2024 · Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for fragmenting renal and ureteral stones. By employing an external machine generating powerful pressure waves, it effectively pulverizes hard concretions like urinary stones into small, passable particles.
21 sie 2017 · We investigated the association between SWL and new-onset hypertension and diabetes mellitus by comparing patients who underwent SWL and URSL in a population-based cohort study with long-term follow-up. With long-term follow-up, stone retreatment could be fully assessed.
Perform PCNL to remove large renal stones in patients with urinary diversion, as well as for ureteral stones that cannot be accessed via a retrograde approach or that are not amenable to shockwave lithotripsy.
Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is the process of fragmentation of renal or ureteric stones by the use of repetitive shock waves generated outside the body and focused onto the stone. Following its introduction in 1980, SWL revolutionized the treatment of kidney stones by offering patients a non-invasi ….
