The present disclosure relates to a calculus removing device which is used in the medical field. More particular, the present disclosure relates to a calculus removing device which has a lithotripsy probe capable of simultaneously destructing and removing the calculus formed in the human body regardless of the size of the calculus by optionally using attractivity or electricity through a lithotripsy probe. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a calculus removing device includes a first tube having an interior region; a second tube which is inserted in to the interior region of the first tube so as to move in the interior region; a capture means of which one end is coupled to an end of the second tube, and which is led-in into the interior region of the first tube corresponding to the moving of the second tube, allowing capturing and fixing a calculus; a lithotripsy probe which is inserted into an interior region of the second tube and contacts with the calculus fixed by the capture means, allowing applying an electric shock; and a handle which is coupled to an end of the first tube, and moves the second tube and the lithotripsy probe independently.
