Zusammenfassung
Summary: The disintegration efficacy of a new piezolectric power source has been measured in vitro using a standard plaster model stone. Shock wave pressure profiles were determined in the focal area by a PVDF-membrane hydrophone. Compared to the standard piezoelectric source the disintegration efficacy has been improved by about 50 %. 11 beagle dogs with 21 renal units were treated with 2000 shocks in a single session at the highest energy level by focusing the renal pelvis. Histopathological examinations were performed in 7 kidneys immediately after shock wave application, in 7 kidneys 6 weeks and in 7 kidneys…
