Ultrasonography was first used as a therapeutic aid in endourology in the early 1970s. Since that time, ultrasound has played an important role, and nowadays, interventional ultrasonography is an established procedure in urology. Procedures on the kidney, bladder, and prostate, which require different puncture techniques, are performed under ultrasound guidance. Today, extracorporeal shockwaves for the treatment of stones and Peyronie's disease are applied under ultrasonic control. Furthermore, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is used experimentally for the treatment of renal tumors and, clinically, for the treatment of prostate cancer. In urologic emergencies, diagnostic and interventional ultrasonography is an important tool. Interventional ultrasound in urology has become an outstanding tool for the planning and performance of a variety of procedures, and every urologist should be able to use these technologies.
超声检查在20世纪70年代初首次被用作腔内泌尿外科的治疗辅助手段。从那时起，超声发挥了重要作用，如今，介入性超声检查在泌尿外科已成为既定的程序。在肾脏、膀胱和前列腺上进行的手术，需要不同的穿刺技术，均在超声引导下进行。如今，用于治疗结石和佩罗尼氏病的体外冲击波是在超声控制下应用的。此外，高强度聚焦超声（HIFU）在实验中用于治疗肾肿瘤，在临床上用于治疗前列腺癌。在泌尿外科急症中，诊断性和介入性超声检查是一项重要工具。泌尿外科的介入性超声已成为规划和实施各种手术的出色工具，每位泌尿外科医生都应能够使用这些技术。
