Cystine stones are often highly resistant to shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), but it has been reported that cystine stones of "rough" morphology are actually quite susceptible to SWL. Based on the observation that rough cystine stones contain void regions that are visible by helical computed tomographic (CT) imaging, we hypothesized that the internal structure of cystine stones would correlate with the susceptibility of stones to SWL. Cystine stones with average diameters between 4 and 7 mm were scanned using micro and helical CT, classified morphologically according to published criteria, and broken in a research electrohydraulic lithotripter, with fragments sieved through a 2 mm mesh every 50 SWs.

Objective: To assess the effect of dual-head lithotripsy on renal function and morphology in a pig model of shockwave (SW) injury, as lithotripters with two shock heads are now available for treating patients, but little information is available with which to judge the safety of treatment with dual pulses.
Materials And Methods: A dual-head electrohydraulic lithotripter (Duet, Direx Corp., Natick, MA, USA) was used to treat the lower renal pole of anaesthetized pigs with a clinical dose of SWs (2400 dual SWs; 10 kidneys) delivered in synchronous mode, i.

Caliceal diverticula harbor calculi in as many as 50% of cases. Such stones rarely pass spontaneously. Various stone-removal techniques have been used, with percutaneous techniques generally having the best results.
