Use of the "blast path" may be helpful in patients where positioning for ESWL treatments is difficult. Good pressures are maintained along the blast path and an alternate fracture mechanism may be in effect. The rate of fragmentation, assessed using model material, decreases with distance beyond F2.

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.
