Extract

The available information on transurethral ureteroscopic ultrasound and electrohydraulic wave lithotripsy in the surgical treatment of upper renal tract stones is presented above. It is significant that most reports add only 2–5 case studies to the literature and no large series of cases are reported. This approach to the surgical care of renal stones will have to be considered over the next several years against a backdrop of the current rapid spread in the use of percutaneous lithotripsy and the potential rapid diffusion of ESWL in the United States.
