title: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy monotherapy of 'stoned' internal ureteral stent in children. Case report.
abstract: A case of ESWL treatment, as monotherapy, of a 'stoned' ureteral stent in a 12-year-old boy was described. Two years previously, the patient had pyelolithotomy with staghorn stone removal, and double-J stent was left indwelling intraoperatively. The patient was lost for follow-up for 2 years, when he had multiple stone formation adherent to the whole length of the stent. Four ESWL sessions were required before the stent was freed for removal.
