Abstract
This decade has witnessed dramatic advances in the surgical management of urinary calculi. Today, most stones can be removed by minimally invasive means. In fact, the treatment of choice in 60% to 90% of patients with renal and ureteral calculi that need to be surgically removed is extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). This article reviews indications for ESWL and discusses deleterious effects of ESWL.Entities:
