Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Current lithotriptor terminology lacks standardization, hindering effective communication and data comparison in clinical practice.
  • Variability in reporting treatment outcomes makes it difficult to assess the efficacy and efficiency of different lithotriptor devices and techniques.

Framework:

  • Proposes a standardized set of definitions for lithotriptor terminology.
  • Aims to establish a common language for describing lithotripsy procedures and outcomes.

Implementation:

  • Encourages the general adoption of these proposed terms in all clinical reports.
  • Facilitates consistent data collection and analysis for lithotripsy treatments.

Implications:

  • Improved comparability of lithotripsy treatment results across diverse clinical settings and equipment.
