    Abstract:
    Presentation of 6 cases (8 renal units) of lithiasis in polycystic kidneys treated with extracorporeal shockwave lithotrity (ESWL). One patient required puncture of a compressing cyst, prior to ESWL, to facilitate the stones removal. No complications were seen in any of the cases. Therefore, stones in polycystic kidneys can be safely and effectively treated by ESWL.
