Abstract
Since patient positioning techniques have advanced and second- and third-generation lithotripters have been introduced, treatment of uretereal calculi by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has become a more likely possibility. Although in certain cases relatively invasive endourological methods are still necessary, in most intracorporeal lithotripsy can be performed via ureteroscopy.
