Abstract:
PURPOSE: To report our experience of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), with the Dornier Compact Delta(R). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 361 cases underwent EWSL using Dornier Compact Delta(R). The location and sizes of stones, session, success rate, and causes of failure and complications of ESWL, were retrospectively reviewed. The mean diameter of the stones was 8.7mm, ranging from 5 to 37mm. RESULTS: Of the 361 cases, there were 71 (19.7%) and 290 (80.3%) cases of renal stones and ureteral stones, respectively. The overall success rate was 92.5%, with success rates of 98.2, 86.2, 62.5 and 100% for stone sizes
