title: Predisposing factors and prevention of renal calculi.
abstract: Over the last few years there have been marked advances in both the surgical and medical treatment of urinary stone disease. At present, we have expectations of decreasing the incidence of stone recurrence in a vast majority of patients with medical therapy alone. While there are still many patients who will continue to develop new stones, decreasing their rate of new stone formation will lessen the need for surgical intervention.
