Urolithiasis in children: innovations in management.
Management of urolithiasis in children remains a challenge despite newer technological innovations. During the last 3 years we have treated 19 children with a combination of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous stone extraction and ureteroscopy, as well as with traditional methods. The newer technological methods perfected in adults are equally applicable to children in experienced hands.
