[The treatment of urolithiasis in the specialized urologic department].
The experience of urolithiasis treatment with the use of modern diagnostic methods (the computer tomography with concrement density detection, the DV-Med program which permits to obtain the calculus volumetric image and to study its physical characteristics), and therapy (distant lithotripsy with the use of different types of lithotriptors as well as retrograde contact lithotripsy with "Lithoclast") permits to minimize the percent of open surgical interventions. For the last 3 years 780 patients with different clinical disease forms were treated with favorable clinical outcome and only in 0.5% cases the open surgical intervention was conducted. These patients underwent the pyelolithotomy for the secondary nephrolithiasis conditioned by the pelvis-and-ureteral segment stricture when the endoscopic method failed to eliminate this problem.
