Abstract

Experimental and clinical aspects of calculogenesis about foreign bodies are reviewed. Factors such as infections, urine dilution, urinary pH, and suture materials are discussed from an investigative point of view. The various kinds of clinical foreign body stones reported are categorized according to the manner of introduction into the urinary tract and anatomic locations.
