For millennia, removal of uroliths has been the province of the surgeon. However, a paradigm shift in management of canine uroliths occurred beginning in 1973. Translating the science associated with medical dissolution of canine uroliths into a form that would serve companion animals involved the interdependent knowledge, skills, and desire of many individuals. By practicing the principles of being proactive, defining clear objectives, agreeing how to accomplish these objectives, and empathetically listening to each others ideas and concerns, the surgical removal of uroliths will one day become a subject of historic interest.
