Selected spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with profound spasticity may be treated by implantation of a baclofen pump for intrathecal administration of baclofen. The pump is implanted in the abdominal ...
DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke engineers have devised a way to improve the efficiency of lithotripsy -- the demolition of kidney stones using focused shock waves. After decades of research, all it took was ...
At University of Utah Health, our urologists are highly trained and experienced in a full range of surgical procedures for kidney stone removal, in addition to non-surgical care. We also have the ...
SAN DIEGO—Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is an independent risk factor for hypertension in patients without chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to data presented at the American ...
An innovative technique called burst wave lithotripsy (BWL) may provide an effective, more accessible alternative for noninvasive treatment of kidney stones, according to initial human studies ...
