Abstract
Intra-Corporeal Iithotripters can be broadly divided into laser- and non-laser-based devices. With the advent of laser technology, the use of mechanical lithotripters has declined considerably. However, for certain procedures like percutaneous nephrolithotomy and semirigid ureteroscopy, mechanical lithotripters still have a role. Newer advanced combined lithotripters are well suited for miniature access and providing comparable outcomes to laser lithotripters at an affordable price.
