THE IMPACT OF CALICEAL PELVIC ANATOMY ON STONE CLEARANCE AFTER SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPSY FOR PEDIATRIC LOWER POLE STONES

Abstract

Our results suggest that caliceal pelvic anatomy in pediatric lower pole stones has no significant impact on stone clearance after SWL. There was a highly significant relation between retreatment rates and stone burden, which should be considered for determining the treatment modality.
