[Instrumental chemolysis of cystine calculi].
ESWL and PCN have modified the urinary stones therapy. Nevertheless these therapeutic procedures are not much effective in cystine stone because of its protein structure and frequent recurrences; these procedures need to be combined to achieve the best results. In cystine stones the lithochemolysis, performed following recent technique has shown excellent results, without complications and easy to apply.
