[Percutaneous nephrolithotomy by electrohydraulic shock wave].
Abstract
Twelve patients underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy in our hospital. Six of these patients had stone disintegration by electrohydraulic shock wave. The procedure was safe and effective for achieving rapid stone disintegration. Translocation of the stone fragments and central metal core of the probe left in the ureter were clinical problems. However, they passed spontaneously. Usefulness and problems of electrohydraulic lithotripsy were discussed.
