Modalities available for performing intracorporeal lithotripsy include ultrasonic, electrohydraulic and laser procedures. We present our experience with a new and unique technology for performing intracorporeal lithotripsy, namely the Swiss Lithoclast. This simple and inexpensive device uses compressed air to activate a solid probe in a manner similar to that of a jackhammer. We report the use of the Lithoclast in 31 cases, consisting of 6 renal calculi approached percutaneously, 17 ureteral calculi and 8 bladder calculi. The Lithoclast successfully fragmented 94% of the calculi. There were no intraoperative or long-term complications directly related to the use of this device. We have found the Swiss Lithoclast to be a safe, effective and inexpensive means of performing intracorporeal lithotripsy for calculi located throughout the urinary tract.
可用于进行体内碎石术的方式包括超声、液电和激光手术。我们介绍了我们使用一种全新且独特的体内碎石技术——瑞士碎石机的经验。这种简单且价格低廉的设备利用压缩空气以类似于手提钻的方式激活一个实心探头。我们报告了在31例病例中使用该碎石机的情况，其中包括6例经皮肾镜取石术治疗的肾结石、17例输尿管结石和8例膀胱结石。该碎石机成功粉碎了94%的结石。没有与使用该设备直接相关的术中或长期并发症。我们发现瑞士碎石机是一种安全、有效且价格低廉的用于对整个尿路结石进行体内碎石术的方法。
