[Long-term results of treating children with kidney and ureteral stones with extracorporeal lithotripsy].
Long-term outcomes of urolithiasis treatment with extracorporeal lithotripsy (ECLT) have been analysed for 132 children using, as the basic criterion, data of dynamic nephroscintigraphy. The results of ECLT were considered regarding characteristics of the concrement, inflammatory process, parameters of the shock wave. It was found that low-energy restruction regimens in minimal number of impulses per session and adequate intervals between them prevent irreversible changes in renal parenchyma in response to focused shock waves. Monitoring and adequate treatment late after ECLT lead to recovery of renal function if obstructive complications and stone formation are found early and if the course of the inflammation is controlled.
