title: [Urolithiasis in childhood with special reference to infants and newborns (author's transl)].
abstract: The study reports 110 cases of urinary stones in children treated in the Paediatric Surgery Department of the City Hospital, München-Schwabing, from 1965-1976. 78 of the children had a follow-up examination at least two years after the surgical removal of the stone. The infant and toddler age-group demonstrated special features in possible genetic predisposition, and in the recurrence-rate, as opposed to the series as a whole. A "stony peak" is postulated also for urolithiasis in childhoiod. Prophylactic measures against recurrence consist mainly, in addition to careful surgical correction of urinary-flow hindrances, of plentiful fluid intake.
