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.

Swiss LithoClast Trilogy: A European Multicenter Prospective Study

Multicenter single arm study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of Lithoclast Trilogy in a larger number of patients. 

Ten European clinical centers participate in this prospective, non-randomized trial.
