[Tissue damage during percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy].

W Stackl, M Marberger

    Zeitschrift Fur Urologie Und Nephrologie
    |December 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ultrasound lithotripsy for kidney stones is safe, causing minimal injury below cavitation thresholds. Studies show no mutagenic effects, with metal fragments excreted or causing minimal tissue reaction.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Histopathology

    Context:

    • Percutaneous ultrasound lithotripsy is a method for disintegrating renal calculi.
    • Assessing the safety and potential side effects of ultrasound lithotripsy is crucial for clinical application.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the safety profile of ultrasound lithotripsy for renal calculi.
    • To investigate potential injuries, mutagenic effects, and tissue reactions associated with the procedure.

    Summary:

    • Ultrasound lithotripsy operates below the cavitation threshold, minimizing irreversible tissue damage.
    • Superficial mucous membrane injury, edema, and submucous hemorrhages were observed but were not perforating.
    • No mutagenic effects were detected in the Sister-chromatide-exchange test, and metal splinters were excreted or showed minimal tissue reaction.

    Impact:

    • Ultrasound lithotripsy appears to be a safe procedure for renal calculi disintegration with minimal adverse effects.
    • Findings support the clinical use of ultrasound lithotripsy, highlighting its low risk of significant injury and mutagenicity.
