Objectives: To compare the treatment efficacy of Dornier Compact S and a Chinese electromagnetic shock wave lithotripter (Huikang MZ-SWL-V) in a large series.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) in 13,954 consecutive patients with upper urinary tract stones from December 1996 to December 2008 with Dornier Compact S (9124 cases) and Huikang MZ-SWL-V (4830 cases). An intramuscular injection of 50 mg pethidine was given to the patients with Dornier Compact S but not to those with Huikang MZ-SWL-V. Treatment outcomes were assessed by the stone-free rate at three months, the retreatment rate, the auxiliary procedure rate, and the effectiveness quotient. The pain scores were evaluated by visual analog scales, where 0 = pain and 10 = unbearable pain.
Results: The overall stone-free rate at 3 months, retreatment rate, and ancillary procedure rate for Dornier Compact S were 95.9%, 13.4%, and 2.2%, respectively, and they were 85%, 29.6%, and 10.2%, respectively, for Huikang MZ-SWL-V. The overall efficiency quotients of Dornier Compact S and Huikang MZ-SWL-V were 83% and 60.8%, respectively. However, the pain scores in the Dornier group (6-10) were higher than those in the Huikang group (1-5). Three clinically significant subcapsular hematomas were detected in the Dornier group but there were none in the Huikang group.
Conclusions: Dornier Compact S is more effective than Huikang MZ-SWL-V, but SWL with Huikang machine could be performed with milder pain and without analgesia, and a lower significant hematoma rate was observed in Huikang group.

In the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for infants, we used a medical polymer gel pad to assist ultrasonic positioning, so that the ultrasonic probe could be far away from the shock wave energy field. Although not affecting the ultrasonic positioning and monitoring effect, we discussed the protective effect of this method on the ultrasonic probe. A retrospective analysis was made on 21 infants (0-3 years old) who received ESWL in our hospital from June 2021 to February 2023.

Materials And Methods: From January 2014 to January 2017, patients undergoing SWL using an electromagnetic lithotripter machine (Compact Delta; Dornier MedTech GmbH, Wessling, Germany) for renal and upper ureteral stones ≤ 20 mm were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent CT urography prior to SWL.

Pretreating the kidney with 100 low-energy shock waves (SWs) with a time pause before delivering a clinical dose of SWs (Dornier HM-3, 2000 SWs, 24 kV, and 120 SWs/min) has been shown to significantly reduce the size of the hemorrhagic lesion produced in that treated kidney, compared to a protocol without pretreatment. It has been assumed that a similar reduction in injury will occur with lithotripters other than the HM-3, but experiments to confirm this assumption are lacking. In this study, we sought to verify that the lesion protection phenomenon also occurs in a lithotripter using an electromagnetic shock source and dry-head coupling.

Purpose: The extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) remains the most common first line of treatment for renal stones in the pediatric population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the outcomes of the ESWL and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL).
Patients And Methods: A total of 108 patients younger than 12 years of age with 1-2 cm single renal stone (pelvic or calyceal) were randomized into two groups, each containing 54 patients.

In this paper, an extracorporeal shock wave source composed of small ellipsoidal sparker units is described. The sparker units were arranged in an array designed to produce a coherent shock wave of sufficient strength to fracture kidney stones. The objective of this paper was to measure the acoustical output of this array of 18 individual sparker units and compare this array to commercial lithotripters.
