Endoscopic lithotripsy is still the method of choice for a number of stones, especially large stones. Various disintegration techniques exist. We investigated the combination of two of these techniques: ultrasound and pneumatic lithotripsy.
Fourteen consecutive patients with renal and one patient with bladder stones were treated with this new device. Ultrasound and pneumatic lithotripsy could be used independently or simultaneously.
Disintegration and stone removal was fast. The use of forceps or other instruments could generally be avoided. No complications attributable to the lithotripsy device were observed.
The combined ultrasound/pneumatic lithotripsy device is safe and highly effective. It reduces treatment time and enhances surgeon's comfort.
内镜碎石术仍是治疗多种结石，尤其是大结石的首选方法。现有多种碎石技术。我们研究了其中两种技术的联合应用：超声碎石术和气压弹道碎石术。
连续14例肾结石患者和1例膀胱结石患者使用该新型设备进行治疗。超声碎石术和气压弹道碎石术可单独使用或同时使用。
结石粉碎和清除速度快。通常可避免使用镊子或其他器械。未观察到归因于碎石设备的并发症。
超声/气压弹道联合碎石设备安全且高效。它缩短了治疗时间，提高了术者的舒适度。
