We illustrate a case of large calyceal diverticulum which was formed after ESWL sessions.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Since the first practical application of extracorporeal Shockwave lithotripsy by Chaussy e al and the development of second generation lithotriptors, shock wave has revolutionised the way urologists have managed urinary tract calculi.
📊
Key Findings & Data:However, the technology isn't entirely safe and free of adverse long-term effects.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:We illustrate a case of large calyceal diverticulum which was formed after ESWL sessions.

Özet
Chaussy ve arkadaşlarının ilk ESWL uygulamalarından ve ikinci jenerasyon taş kırma cihazlarının geliştirilmesinden sonra ürologların üriner sistem taş hastalığına yaklaşımı değişmiştir. Ancak ESWL teknolojisi tamamen emin değildir ve uzun dönem yan etkileri mevcuttur. ESWL seanslarından sonra büyük bir kaliks divertikülü oluşmuş bir vakayı sunuyoruz.
