title: [Echographic localization and monitoring of bladder calculi treated with ESWL].
abstract: The standard treatments for bladder stones consist either of an open operation or endoscopic transurethral disintegration and extraction. These treatment require anesthesia and hospitalization. We report our experience of ESWL monotherapy in the treatment of 10 patients affected by bladder stones. Our early datas show that ESWL for bladder stones is a safe an effective therapy which can be performed without the use of anesthesia in an outpatient basis.
