Abstract
Nowadays, noninvasive destruction of kidney concrements using focused shock waves is a routine procedure in medicine. A patient is immersed in the water bath under the tomographic control, and then electric discharge and acoustic reflector are used to produce a series of focused shock waves to destruct the concrement.1 Authors of the technique also supposed that laser beams can be used instead of electric discharge.
