Abstract:
Presentation of 9 cases of calyceal diverticulum symptomatic lithiasis, 6 of which have been treated up to the present time. Of the remaining 3, one patients, in spite of its evolutive character (increased cavity) and moderate pain, prefers to abstain from therapeutic therapy, but undergoes follow-up controls every 6 months; the other 2 cases are waiting endourological treatment. Out of 6 patients who underwent surgery, two cases, who had previously experienced shockwave extracorporeal lithotripsy (SWEL), were advised to have endourological procedures due to persistence of pain and gallstones debris.
