title: [Surgical treatment of urolithiasis in Norway].
abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate treatment strategies for urolithiasis as they are practised in Norway today. A questionnaire was sent to the somatic hospitals in Norway. All surgical treatment of urolithiasis was to be registered over a three month period, from 1 September to 30 November 1992. 78% of the hospitals responded, and 505 patients were included in the survey. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and uretero-renoscopy are well established treatment modalities in all parts of the country. The treatment practice follows the accepted international guidelines and treated at the larger treatment centres.
