A collaborative study about a pulsed dye laser Rhodamin 590 was undergone, 2 years ago, between the laser application center of EPFL and both urological departments of the university of Geneva and the university of Lausanne. First clinical results are presented. Ten patients have been treated for various ureteral stones, mainly calcium oxalate stones. Laser fragmentation was successful in seven cases. No serious complication was noted. Fragmentation efficiency seems better with a 320 microns fiber than with a 200 microns fiber.

D008096 Lithotripsy The destruction of a calculus of the kidney, ureter, bladder, or gallbladder by physical forces, including crushing with a lithotriptor through a catheter. Focused percutaneous ultrasound and focused hydraulic shock waves may be used without surgery. Lithotripsy does not include the dissolving of stones by acids or litholysis. Lithotripsy by laser is LITHOTRIPSY, LASER.
