title: ESWL management of ureteral calculi without anesthesia: an alternative to invasive procedures.
abstract: We reviewed our experience with ESWL therapy in 96 patients who presented with upper, middle and lower ureteral calculi; we had 127 treatments in 96 patients, 73 men (76%) and 22 women (24%). All the treatments were performed without general anesthesia and without premedication. The average number of shock waves was 3.000. Repetition of the ESWL therapy had to be performed in 25%.
