    Summary

    Urinary stones in children are often linked to congenital anomalies or metabolic issues like hypercalciuria. Treatment focuses on addressing these causes and removing stones, with newer techniques potentially improving outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Urinary stones in children present unique diagnostic and management challenges.
    • A significant number of pediatric stone cases are associated with underlying urologic anomalies or metabolic disturbances.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical characteristics, predisposing factors, and treatment outcomes of pediatric urinary stones.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical interventions and consider modern minimally invasive approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 62 children treated for urinary stones over 12 years.
    • Analysis of presenting symptoms, stone composition, associated anomalies, metabolic evaluation, and treatment modalities.

    Main Results:

    • Abdominal pain, pyuria, and hematuria were common symptoms. Struvite stones, often linked to anatomic abnormalities, were most frequent.
    • Hypercalciuria was the most common metabolic abnormality. 87% of stones were in the upper urinary tract.
    • Surgical procedures were common, with pyelolithotomy and cystolithotomy being most frequent. Recurrence and residual stones were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric urinary stones require comprehensive evaluation for congenital, metabolic, and infectious causes.
    • While traditional surgeries were employed, many cases could benefit from contemporary percutaneous nephrostolithotripsy or extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy.
