Abstract
We report our early experience with a new device for endoscopic stone disintegration: the Swiss lithoclast. This device was used to treat 20 0 patients with stones in kidney, ureter, and bladder. Its effectivene ss was 100% when the stone could be approached irrespective of size or composition, and no complication was encountered.
