  • Title: Management of complex renal calculi.
    Author: Holmes SA, Whitfield HN.
    Journal: World J Urol; 1993; 11(1):31-6. PubMed ID: 8490665.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of small renal pelvic and ureteric calculi can be performed with relative safety and efficacy using lithotripsy or an endourological method. There remains however, a proportion of stones that are resistant to these methods because of their anatomical position, physical composition or sheer size. To these stones must be applied a treatment strategy using the variety of techniques to their maximum advantage. This article aims to review the accumulated experience on the management of these more complex urinary calculi.
