No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is a noninvasive method widely used as the first step in treating stone disease. This study aimed to reduce radiation exposure to patients and practitioners during SWL sessions by extending the intervals of fluoroscopy controls. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Will radiation exposure be reduced?
* Will the stone-free status be affected? The researchers will compare the fluoroscopic control intervals of 250 shocks and 500 shocks.

Participants will:

* Take to a maximum of 3 sessions.
* Check once a week
* Group 1 was fluoroscopically monitored every 250 shocks, and Group 2 was fluoroscopically monitored every 500 shocks

Conditions

  • Kidney Calculi

Interventions

DEVICE

Shock wave lithotripsy

SWL works on the principle of focusing on the calculus using fluoroscopy. There has yet to be a consensus on the optimal frequency of fluoroscopic monitoring in the literature.
