After the success of shock-wave therapy for fragmentation of renal stones, machines for shock-wave therapy of gallbladder stones were quick to follow. In Munich, gallstones were successfully treated in 174 of 175 patients who were also taking ursodiol to help solubilize the calculous rubble left after treatment. In Boston, of the initial 87 patients accepted, 58 were treated for a single stone (mean diameter 15.7 mm), 16 were treated for 2 stones, and 13 for 3 stones. Although reporting of exact results is not possible before the Food and Drug Administration issues a clearance, it is fair to say that both patients and physicians are generally pleased with the results.
在冲击波疗法成功用于肾结石碎石后，用于胆囊结石冲击波治疗的机器很快就出现了。在慕尼黑，175名同时服用熊去氧胆酸以帮助溶解治疗后残留结石碎块的患者中，有174人胆囊结石治疗成功。在波士顿，最初接受治疗的87名患者中，58人治疗单颗结石（平均直径15.7毫米），16人治疗两颗结石，13人治疗三颗结石。虽然在食品药品监督管理局批准之前无法报告确切结果，但可以说患者和医生总体上对结果都很满意。
