It can be claimed that ESWL is an optimal alternative for ablation of calculi by external shock waves. The new developments in ESWL have focussed more on the economic aspects of treatment rather than enhancing its efficacy or reducing the side effects. Since August 1993, the prototype of the Dornier Lithotripter U-30 was used at the Department of Urology of the Katharinen hospital in Stuttgart.
METHODS/RESULTS: In 16 months, 1092 stones were treated requiring 1533 sessions. Complete disintegration was achieved in 84%; after 3 months' follow-up, 85.5% of the patients were stone free.
The Dornier Lithotripter U-30 provides easy handling and a short learning curve and a sufficient disintegration of the stones. The device is suitable for safe and effective treatment of all urinary calculi, with special respect to in situ treatment of ureteral stones.
可以声称体外冲击波碎石术（ESWL）是通过外部冲击波消融结石的最佳选择。ESWL的新发展更多地集中在治疗的经济方面，而不是提高其疗效或减少副作用。自1993年8月以来，多尼尔U-30碎石机的原型在斯图加特卡塔琳娜医院泌尿外科使用。
方法/结果：在16个月内，治疗了1092颗结石，需要进行1533次治疗。84%的结石实现了完全碎裂；经过3个月的随访，85.5%的患者结石清除。
多尼尔U-30碎石机操作简便，学习曲线短，结石碎裂充分。该设备适用于所有尿路结石的安全有效治疗，尤其适用于输尿管结石的原位治疗。
