title: Stone necklace of urinary tract presenting as renal failure: one stage management.
abstract: We describe three cases with bilateral extensive involvement of both upper and lower urinary tract with calculi presenting in renal failure. The management of these patients in a single operative session and rendering them stone free is discussed. Modern endourologic techniques have made it possible to treat patients with such an extensive involvement of the urinary tract with stone disease with minimum morbidity.
