Abstract

Urinary stone destruction by the action of an energy transducer, that is activated next to or at the calculus, is possible by means of an ultrasound probe which is vibrating longitudinally, or by an electrohydraulic probe which generates a shock wave by an electric discharge. Most studies on the side effects of these devices on biological tissue are based on experiments with rabbit or canine bladder tissue.
