[Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in the treatment of pediatric urolithiasis].
The 2nd generation lithotripter LITHOSTAR plus was used for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of 9 kidney stones, 2 ureteral calculi and 2 bladder stones in 10 children 15 months to 17 years old. Ultrasonic stone localization was used in 2 children, x-ray guided stone localization in 8 children. General anesthesia was necessary in 6 children. A stone free rate of 60% was achieved after 1 treatment. Except for one 14-year old boy no adjuvant procedures like percutaneous nephrostomy or ureteral stents were applied. No major complications were encountered.
