Abstract:
The Puigvert Urology Centre in Barcelona reports the detailed results of five cases of ureteric stones all treated by first-line shock wave lithotripsy. Only one case obtained a positive result (after 4 sessions). In the other four cases, shock wave therapy had to be completed by ureteroscopy (1 case) or by open surgery (3 cases) to achieve cure.
