Ultrasonic lithotripsy system

Definition

An assembly of devices designed to use ultrasonic (US) shock waves for the intracorporeal fragmentation of stones (calculi) found in the kidney, ureter, and bladder. This system can have a variety of configurations and will typically employ endoscopic devices together with a dedicated US transducer and probe (e.g., a sonotrode) during its application. The debris may be forcefully removed (e.g., through irrigation/suction) or passed out by natural means at a later date.
