Summary:The authors report on their experience with the destruction of kidney stones with the lithotriptor MEDELIT M6 of Medipo Co. BRNO on the development of which they participated. They checked 878 patients where the instrument was used and where the condition of a half-year interval after the operation had been met. In these patients 119 operations were made 87% of which were successful. No serious complications occurred; after operation they observed in 17% of the patients complications ensuing from a block of the ureter by the passing stones. The extracorporeal lithotriptor MEDELIT M6 is a reliable instrument with a low rate of defects and cheap operation which makes accurate X-ray and sonographic focusing on the stone possible as well as adequate disintegration of the concrement without damaging surrounding tissues. It is comparable with instruments of the same generation manufactured abroad.
