title: [The place of polar nephrectomy in the surgical treatment of renal lithiasis].
abstract: Out of a total of 475 interventions for renal lithiasis, the author has performed only 15 partial nephrectomies, as compared with 118 total nephrectomies and 342 conservatory pyelotomies and nephrotomies. The type of intervention described should be limited to cases where the polar parenchyma is jeopardised--partial tactical nephrectomy should be abandoned.
