title: [Surgical management for urolithiasis].
abstract: The indication of the surgical management for urolithiasis isn't decided only in the size of the stone. Even the small stone sometimes influences a kidney function and clinical symptom. Present Japanese surgical treatment for Urolithiasis is almost lithotripsy therapy. Though most of lithotripsy therapy is ESWL, TUL and PNL were chosen due to the state of the stone.
