Abstract
The authors report their experience with a third generation lithotripter Storz-Modulith SL 20 with fluoroscopic and echography stone localization. A total of 284 patients, between september '92 and august '94, with 149 renal and 135 ureteral stones, underwent 483 treatments. The mean treatment rate was 1,7 and the over-all stone free rate was 93%. Auxiliary procedures before ESWL were performed in 5.1% of the sessions (stenting, nephrostomy tube) and in 1% post-ESWL manipulations for lithiasic steinstrasse. Complications as: renal damage, steinstrasse etc. occurred in 2.5% of the session; in 20 patients ESWL procedure failed.
