Abstract:
The authors propose to make crystotomy using energy of low-frequency ultrasound (the device URSK 7N 22, frequency - 26.5-30 kHz, amplitude - 40-50 mcm). The working part of the waveguide was designed in specific geometric shape. Indications to ultrasonic crystotomy and surgical techniques are outlined. A total of 29 patients were operated on. Good results were achieved in 25 patients, satisfactory results in 4 patients.

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
01:28Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...
