Scope note: Destrucción de un cálculo renal, del uréter, vejiga o vesícula por fuerzas físicas, entre las que se incluyen la destrucción con un litotriptor a través de un catéter. Puede utilizarse ultrasonido percutáneo focalizado y choque hidráulico focalizado por ondas de choque sin cirugía. La litotricia no comprende la disolución de cálculos por ácidos o litolisis. En la LITOTRICIA POR LÁSER se fragmentan los cálculos mediante láser.

Scope note: The destruction of a calculus of the kidney, ureter, bladder, or gallbladder by physical forces, including crushing with a lithotriptor through a catheter. Focused percutaneous ultrasound and focused hydraulic shock waves may be used without surgery. Lithotripsy does not include the dissolving of stones by acids or litholysis. Lithotripsy by laser is LITHOTRIPSY, LASER.
Annotation: litholysis (dissolving calculi by acid) is disease /ther, not LITHOTRIPSY
