Objective To describe the initial clinical experience with the UreTron (Med-Sonics, Erie, PA),
a new ultrasonic lithotriptor. Historically, ultrasound-only intracorporeal lithotriptors have …

PURPOSE: The Cyberwand (Cybersonics, Erie, Pennsylvania) is a novel intracorporeal
lithotrite that uses coaxial ultrasonic elements operating at 2 frequencies. We compared this …

PURPOSE: Ultrasonic lithotriptors are commonly used to fragment and remove stones
during percutaneous nephrolithotomy. To date a comparative assessment of current units …

Study Type–Therapy (case series) Level of Evidence 4 What's known on the subject? and
What does the study add? Studies have indicated that not all ultrasonic lithotripters are …

Purpose: The Lithoclast Ultra (Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, MA) enables the
simultaneous application of ultrasonic and pneumatic modalities for the fragmentation and …

Introduction: Refinements in ultrasonic and pneumatic lithotriptors, as well as the
development of new dual-modality lithotriptors, have increased the options available for the …

Purpose: To compare the efficiency (stone fragmentation and removal time) and
complications of three models of intracorporeal lithotripters in percutaneous nephrolithotomy …

Purpose We aimed to compare the outcomes of pneumatic (PL), ultrasonic (UL) and
combined (PL/UL) lithotripsy performed in percutaneous lithotripsy (PNL) according to …

Objectives. A new combination intracorporeal lithotripter (Lithoclast Ultra) has been
developed that incorporates the beneficial effects of pneumatic lithotripsy (rapid stone …

Objectives To compare the stone clearance rate and stone-success rate among lithotripter
with ultrasonic lithotripter alone, pneumatic lithotripter alone and combined mechanisms …
