The effect of fat and nonfat components of the skin-to-stone distance on shockwave lithotripsy outcome.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Clinical studies have shown beneficial role of oral alpha-blockers for ureteral stent-related morbidity. However, the in vivo effects of oral alpha-blockers on a stented ureter are unclear. We evaluated the effects of alpha-blockade on ureteral dynamics in a stented porcine ureter. METHODS:Twenty-seven fe...
