Abstract
Patients with diabetes, hypertension, polycythaemia, neurological impairment or obesity; the elderly; nervous patients; and those with urinary infection, require special management. We treat all patients in these categories but take the precaution of bringing the patient into the best possible condition prior to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).
