India F Lane. Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 2004 Jul.

Abstract

Lithotripsy methods for fragmenting uroliths continue to evolve.Increasing access to and experience with newer generation lithotriptors and continued study of laser methodology are likely to increase the application of lithotripsy methods in small animal urology. For small animals in which intervention is recommended for progressive, symptomatic, infected, or obstructive uroliths, nonsurgical extracorporeal or intracorporeal lithotripsy methods maybe considered.
