“…As a result of plasma exposure to the stone, four intense calcium lines were recorded in the spectrum of the plasma-forming gas, along with the usually fixed lines of hydrogen, sodium and hydroxyl 5 – 13 , 16 . An increase in the time of plasma exposure to the stone led to an increase in the intensity of radiation of calcium lines.…”

“…New methods that claim to be promising include plasmakinetic percutaneous lithotripsy based on the destruction of renal calculi using low temperature discharge plasma (LTP). Analysis of modern methods of lithotripsy shows that the method of plasmakinetic destruction of renal calculi is not found in the literature 16 . At the same time, the results of experimental studies show that plasmakinetic destruction of urinary calculi to grains of sand < 500 microns in size can be an effective and low-cost method.…”

Despite the progress made in the treatment of nephrolithiasis, the existing methods of renal calculi destruction are not ideal and have both advantages and disadvantages. Considering the process of high-frequency glow discharge formation on the surface of an electrode and in an electrolyte solution, we obtained the results on the destruction of renal calculi in vitro. It was shown that the destruction of kidney stones by glow discharge plasma was caused by several processes—the plasma induced effect of hydrated electrons and shock wave effect of the electrolyte stimulated by electrical breakdowns in the plasma. The plasma generation modes were configured by estimating the thickness of the vapor–gas layer in which the plasma burns. Thus, the average rate of contact destruction of renal calculi was measured depending on the plasma generator input power and time of plasma exposure. We conclude that the method of stone fragmentation by high-frequency electrolyte plasma is rather perspective and can be used in endoscopic urology for percutaneous and transurethral lithotripsy.
