Stones in special situations

Mordechai Duvdevani et al. World J Urol. 2017 Sep.

Abstract

There are several special situations in which urinary lithiasis presents management challenges to the urologist. An in-depth knowledge of the pathophysiology, unique anatomy, and treatment options is crucial in order to maintain good health in these patients. In this review, we summarize the current literature on the management of the following scenarios: bladder stones, stones in bowel disease, during pregnancy, in association with renal anomalies, with skeletal deformities, in urinary diversions, and in children.

Keywords: PCNL; SWL; Ureteroscopy; Urolithiasis.
