    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Urology
    • Medical Technology

    Background:

    • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) affects a significant portion of the population.
    • Surgical interventions for gallstones carry inherent risks.
    • Non-invasive treatment options are sought to improve patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of stroke-wave lithotripsy for cholelithiasis.
    • To define the indications for using this lithotripsy method.
    • To describe the specific procedural characteristics of stroke-wave lithotripsy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 102 patients treated with stroke-wave lithotripsy.
    • Data collection on treatment outcomes and patient demographics.
    • Formulation of clinical indications based on patient data.

    Main Results:

    • Successful treatment outcomes were achieved in 68% of patients.
    • The study identified specific patient profiles and stone characteristics suitable for the procedure.
    • Key features of the stroke-wave lithotripsy technique were documented.

    Conclusions:

    • Stroke-wave lithotripsy presents a viable option for managing cholelithiasis in selected patients.
    • Further research may refine indications and optimize treatment protocols.
    • The method demonstrated positive results in a substantial patient cohort.
