Abstract
The authors give account of the experience they gained with the Direx Tripter X-1 (ESWL) apparatus. In a random material they succeeded to render 81.5% of the patients stone free within three months. They judge the apparatus suitable for in situ treatment of pelvic and ureteric stones and for the monotherapy of staghorn calculi. It is easy to handle, inexpensive to buy and maintain but noisy to operate, moreover the patient has to be anaesthetized. All in all it is highly useful in the treatment of renal lithiasis.Entities:
