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.
