First seen Apr 08, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tested a new machine called the Enhanced Lithotripsy System (ELS) that uses shock waves from outside the body to break up urinary stones. It included 25 adults with stones in the kidney or ureter, sized 3 to 10 mm. The goal was to see if up to two treatments could either completely clear the stones or leave only tiny fragments (less than 3 mm). The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
