Surgical management of children with urolithiasis
Urol Clin North Am.
2004 Aug.
Abstract
The management of urolithiasis in children poses specific technical challenges that require planning before endoscopy and that affect the risks and outcomes of these procedures. The indications for operative intervention in children and adults are similar:infection, persistent symptoms of flank pain, nausea, and vomiting, as well as the failure to pass a ureteral stone after an appropriate trial of observation (3-6 weeks). Specific adjustments for performing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and cystolithotomy in children are discussed.
