    Some stones are too large even for cystoscopic treatment and may require open cystotomy, in which an incision is made in the bladder and the stones are removed manually. For children with urinary stones, the evidence supporting treatment options is very weak and high quality trials are necessary to help guide clinical management.

    Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction. [23] It differs from palliative options by aiming to restore natural erectile function by inducing cellular microtrauma, triggering the release of angiogenic factors and promoting neovascularization in treated tissue. This mechanism is ...
