Abstract

In 14 children, aged 2-14 years, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was performed for renal and ureteral calculi. In 12 out of 14 children, including 1 patient with a staghorn calculus, complete stone clearance was achieved within the first 3 months following treatment representing 85%. No undue side effects or complications were encountered in this series.
