The reliability and efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) has been established in urinary stone disease. Its combination with respiratory gating might be a useful method to increase the effectiveness of treatment and reduce the number of shocks required. For this purpose, the results of SWL combined with respiratory gating were compared with those of SWL without gating. There was no difference in the stone-free rates of the two groups or in the complication rate. It is concluded that this method neither decreases the number of shockwaves needed nor increases the effectiveness of SWL.
体外冲击波碎石术（SWL）在尿路结石疾病中的可靠性和有效性已得到确立。它与呼吸门控相结合可能是一种提高治疗效果并减少所需冲击波次数的有用方法。为此，将SWL联合呼吸门控的结果与未进行门控的SWL结果进行了比较。两组的结石清除率或并发症发生率均无差异。得出的结论是，这种方法既不会减少所需的冲击波次数，也不会提高SWL的有效性。
