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.

Residual Fragments

Clinically insignificant residual fragments (CIRFs) are small fragments (less than 5 mm) that are present in upper urinary tract at the time of regular post-SWL followup. The term is controversial because they may remain silent and asymptomatic or become a risk factor for stone growth and recurrence, leading to symptomatic events, and need further urologic treatment. Although a stone-free state is the desired outcome of surgical treatment of urolithiasis, the authors believe that the presence of noninfected, nonobstructive, asymptomatic residual fragments can be managed metabolically in order to prevent stone growth and recurrence. Further urologic intervention is warranted if clinical indications for stone removal are present.
