Percutaneous Stone Surgery in Spina Bifida Patients--Are Stone-Free Rates Worth the Risk?

abstract：:We evaluated the safety and efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) using a modified Sonablate 200 and compared the clinical response with that of the prototype Sonablate at 6 months after treatment. Since 1995, 35 patients ages 66 +/- 7 years underwent HIFU with the Sonablate 200 for symptomatic benign p...
