Abstract
Between 1991 and 1997, 17 male patients with bladder stones underwent extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) therapy in our department. One patient required epidural anesthesia and 5 patients were treated under intravenous sedation. Complete fragmentation was achieved after a single session in 9 patients and 4 required 2 sessions. Four patients underwent initial ESWL followed by mechanical cystolithotripsy. No major complications were noted. Fourteen patients were stone-free within 1 week after the procedure. Four patients were treated by transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) on the day after completion ESWL. In conclusion, ESWL therapy is a simple, effective and safe modality for the management of vesical lithiasis.
