ObjectiveTo observe the effect of clinical application of physical vibration lithecbole in upper urinary tract stones after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). MethodsA total of 240 patients with upper urinary tract stones underwent ESWL were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 120 cases in each group. All patients were treated with ESWL, based on which the observation group received extracorporeal physical vibration lithecbole (EPVL) combined with routine lithotripsy for treatment after operation, while the control group received routine lithotripsy for treatment. The postoperative effects of lithotripsy and complications were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe observation group obtained a higher rate of stone expulsion on the day, and higher rates of stone-free at 1, 2 and 4 weeks after operation as compared with the control group (all P＜0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence ofpostoperative complications between the two groups (P＞0.05). ConclusionEmploying EPVL could significantly accelerate the stone expulsion in patients with upper urinary tract stones after ESWL, and improve stone-free rate, which is worthy of clinical application.
