title: [The treatment of urolithiasis. State of the art].
abstract: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy and retrograde ureterorenoscopy are modern urological procedures which have almost completely replaced open surgery of urolithiasis in the last decade. A review of techniques, management of clinical problems and differential indications is presented as a state of the art of these new treatment modalities in urinary stone disease.
