Intracorporeal lithotripsy is a mainstay of nephrolithiasis treatment. With the advent of smaller and more flexible ureteroscopes, methods of intracorporeal lithotripsy continue to advance and improve. Various energy sources are available for ureteroscopic lithotripsy, including electrohydraulic, pneumatic/ballistic, ultrasonic, nanosecond electropulse, and laser. While the ideal device should be small, efficacious, flexible, multifunctional, reusable, safe, and inexpensive, each method attempts to maximize these attributes differently. By understanding the different mechanisms of stone fragmentation, urologists can leverage the advantages and disadvantages to choose a lithotripsy device for each clinical setting.
