Abstract:
Between April and July 1987, 145 patients (presenting with a total of 178 renal and ureteric stones) were treated by extracorporeal lithotripsy (EDAP LT 01) in the Urology Department of Clermont-Ferrand hospital. No anaesthesia was performed during the 186 sessions required, except for 1 patient who underwent neuroleptanalgesia. Fragmentation was obtained in 86% of cases; the complete success rate was 70%, the partial success rate was 16% and the failure rate was 14%.
