title: [Five years experience in the treatment of urinary lithiasis with the extracorporal lithotriptor MFL-5000].
abstract: We present a review of the treatments of the urinary calculations carried out in the Lithotrity Unit in its first five years of working with the Dornier lithotriptor MFL-5000. We describe the location and size of the calculations, distribution by age and sex of the patients, energy applied and time employed, and we compare our retreatment index and the number of sessions per calculation with those published by other authors.
