Background. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has progressively acquired popularity as being the gold standard treatment for upper urinary tract lithiasis in infants since 1980. Our aim was to evaluate the outcome of ESWL for kidney stones and the use of double-J stent in infants.Material and Methods. A prospective clinical trial study performed on 50 infants with renal calculi at pelvic admitted in the Urology ward of Shafa Hospital, Sari, Iran, between 2001 and 2010. Main outcome measure of our study was clearing stones after one or more consecutive sessions of ESWL.Results. The study included 50 patients with renal calculi at pelvic. Among them, there were 35 (70%) boys and 15 (30%) girls with the age ranging from 1 to 13 months (mean of 7 month ± 3 days). All of them were treated by standard ESWL using Simons Lithostor plus machine. The stone sizes ranged from 6 mm to 22 mm. Double-J stents were placed in 11 infants (22%) with stones larger than 13 mm. Most of the patients required only one ESWL session.Conclusion. Since there were no complications following ESWL treatment, we can conclude that, in short term, ESWL is an effective and safe treatment modality for renal lithiasis in infants. In addition, we recommend double-J stent in infants with stones larger than 13 mm.

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.
