Abstract:
Clinical data of 27 children with renal calculi (11 cases on the right side and 16 on left)who were treated with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) using HB-ESWL-VG lithotripter from April 2006 to October 2008 were retrospectively reviewed.The size of stones ranged from 5 mm to 17 mm in diameter (mean 11 mm).In 22 out of 27 cases (82%) stones were crushed completely after the first course.Eleven of 27 ESWL cases were stone-free in 7 days,8 patients in a month after treatment;the stonefree rate was 96% when patients were followed up for 1 year.The results suggest that ESWL is a safe and effective method for treatment of renal calculi in children.
