Abstract
This monograph reviews the basic principles of shock wave lithotripsy. The focus is on new research on stone fragmentation and tissue injury and how this improved understanding of shock-wave technology is leading to modifications in lithotripsy that will allow this therapy to be a safer, more effective treatment for nephrolithiasis.Entities:
