Initial Clinical Experience with Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy during Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

Nottingham C. U. et al. Journal of Endourology, vol. 34,2 (2020): 151-155.

Study background 

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a gold standard treatment in patients with renal stones >20 mm in diameter. Several in vitro and laboratory model studies provided robust evidence on Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy efficiency. This modern, single-probe device delivers both ultrasonic energy and electromagnetic ballistic impact with a simultaneous suction capability.

Stone clearance times with mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy: Comparison of a 1.5 mm ballistic/ultrasonic mini-probe vs. laser.

Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (Mini-PCNL) is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that requires a specific technique, as it utilizes relatively small instruments within restricted diameter access (to even 5 French or smaller). Treating renal calculi through the narrow working lumen of mini-nephroscopes represents the major challenge when conducting mini-PCNL.

Intracorporeal Lithotripsy Stone Retrieval for PCNL

Chosen by the experts: Swiss LithoClast®️ Trilogy - fast, easy and safe stone management!

Principal investigator: Amy E. Krambeck, Indiana University, Indianapolis, USA

The main goal of this multi-center, prospective, randomized trial, conducted by Dr. Krambeck and her team, was to evaluate the efficiency of two combination lithotripters for performing standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL): Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy and Olympus® ShockPulse SE

EMS Lithoclast Trilogy: an effective single-probe dual-energy lithotripter for mini and standard PCNL

Sabnis R. B. et al. World Journal of Urology vol. 38,4 (2020): 1043-1050. 

Providing fast, easy, and safe percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) appears to be one of the most challenging issues in modern urology. In order to break the stones more effectively, a combination of different energy sources is needed. Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy is an all-in-one-probe, dual-energy lithotripter that combines electromagnetic impactor and ultrasonic vibration with suction capability. This study describes the initial clinical use of Swiss Lithoclast® Trilogy in patients who underwent Mini or Standard PCNL for stone evacuation.
