Among the various noninvasive methods for the fragmentation of stones laser lithotripsy is becoming increasingly important. To be independent of the photochemical properties of the concrements, we have developed a system which converts the electromagnetic energy of a laser light pulse intracorporally into the acoustic energy of a shock wave.
