Introduction: The aim of the study was to observe the success rate of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the management of upper urinary tract stones. Materials and Methods: This retroprospective study was conducted in Pokhara Kidney stone Centre, Pokhara, Kaski, Nepal from January 2017 to January 2018. Seventy nine patients were selected in this study with upper urinary tract stone, size less than 20 mm. Results: Seventy four (93.67%) patients were successfully treated in initial use of shock wave and 5 (6.32%) patients required repetition. Conclusion: Overall satisfactory success rate was observed using ESWL for the upper urinary tract stone. Careful selection of patient, stone size and Hounsfield unit (HU) is advisable.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of residual kidney stones after the first treatment of the upper urinary tract calculus. Patients and Methods: 110 patients with residual kidney stones were treated with a MZ.ESWL.VI lithotripter. They were analyzed with regard to stone size, number of stones, number of ESWL sessions, retreatment rates, stone free rates. Results: 68,2% of patients became stone free within 3 months after ESWL with the average number of 3,44 sessions of treatment. No complication has occurred during all treatment. Conclusion: ESWL is an effective method in managing the residual kidney stones after the first treatment of the upper urinary tract calculus.
