The literal meaning of lithotripsy is the "act of breaking stones." There are two forms of lithotripsy available for use in veterinary medicine: electrohydraulic shock-wave lithotripsy (EHL) and extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL). With EHL, a shock-wave is generated immediately adjacent to a urolith within the urinary bladder. In dogs, nephroliths or ureteroliths can be successfully treated with ESWL. With ESWL, the shock-waves are generated outside the body and directed toward the urolith.
碎石术的字面意思是“击碎结石的行为”。在兽医学中有两种可用的碎石术形式：电液压冲击波碎石术（EHL）和体外冲击波碎石术（ESWL）。使用EHL时，冲击波在膀胱内紧邻尿路结石处产生。在犬类中，肾结石或输尿管结石可用ESWL成功治疗。使用ESWL时，冲击波在体外产生并导向尿路结石。
