Comparison of newer laparoscopic port closure techniques in the porcine model.

abstract：:Renal excursion during breathing is inevitable and is a cause of poor localization during extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (SWL), which in theory might lead to poor treatment results. Eighty-one patients underwent lithotripsy treatment with and without the use of an image enhancement system designed for use with ...
