Abstract

The pneumatic lithotripter LMA StoneBreakerTM has been tested and proved effective in removal of uroliths of different location. It is a reliable and comfortable in use modality of contact destruction of the stones of the upper and lower urinary tracts. This lithotripter is perspective for wide urological practice.
