review the cases, which are cured by extracorpored shock wave lithotripsy using the device of third generation "Lithostar Multiline" (Germany). There are data of 603 patients treated by extracorpored shock wave lithotripsy. Almost a thousand (979) renal stones' fragmentations were performed for 271 (45%) patients. The analysis had showed: a full success in 225 (83%) patients, partial in 28 (12.4%) ones and there wasn't any fragmentation in 18 (6.6%) of cases. Extracorpored wave lithotripsy of ureteral stones was performed in 364 (60.4%) cases. Full success was in 319 (87.6%) cases; partial fragmentation in 25 (6.9%) cases and there wasn't any effect in 24 (8%) cases.

Stone at the same location for 2 months predicts impacted stones and stone-free status after shock wave lithotripsy for ureteral stones: A Funabashi clinic expert study.
Int J Urol

Department of Urology, Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba, Japan.
Objectives: To evaluate the success rate of shock wave lithotripsy and identify predictors of stone-free status after shock wave lithotripsy for ureteral stones, focusing on the impact of stones remaining in the same location for 2 months (SSL2).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 501 patients with ureteral stones treated with shock wave lithotripsy by expert surgeons (each with over 1000 shock wave lithotripsy operations) at a single Japanese institution in 2020. Logistic regression analysis identified predictors of stone-free status, including stone length, skin-to-stone distance, stone density (Hounsfield Unit), Hounsfield Unit above/below the stone, stone position, and duration of stone at the same location (SSL2).
Flexible ureteroscopy, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy for management of lower pole renal hard stones ≤ 2 cm: a prospective randomized study.

Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Kafrelsheikh University, Kafrelsheikh, Egypt.
Background: Managing lower pole renal stones presents clinical challenges influenced by various factors such as stone size, location, and density. This study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and stone-free rates of Flexible Ureteroscopy (FURS), Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), and Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (Mini PCNL) for treating lower pole renal hard stones (< 2 cm).
Methods: A prospective single-centre comparative study was conducted on 414 adult patients with primary lower pole renal hard stones.
The effectiveness and safety between prone position and supine position for ultrasound guided shock wave lithotripsy in proximal ureteral stones: a multi-center prospective propensity score-matching study.

Department of Urology, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, 36 Sanhao Street, Shenyang, Liaoning, 110004, People's Republic of China.
Background: Although shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) has been considered to be effective in treating ureteral stones, a definitive conclusion remains unclear on which patient's position is the optimal option for proximal ureteral stones. The purpose of this study is to assess the ideal position of ultrasound guided SWL for the treatment of proximal ureteral stones.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted in multi-center from June 2020 to December 2023.

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention of severely calcified lesions is limited by inadequate stent expansion and poor clinical outcomes. Over the past decade, several devices and techniques have been developed for calcium modification and lesion preparation. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel tool in this context.
