Abstract

Safety, efficacy and probe flexibility of intracorporal lithotripsy systems are key factors that influence both the treatment outcome and range of indication in the treatment of stone diseases, e.g. urolithiasis. A new shockwave solid-state laser is investigated for its clinical application in that field.
