A total of 260 patients underwent treatment with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Staghorn calculi were found in 32 cases. In carrying out ESWL for staghorn calculi, double pigtail stent was previously retained in principle. When the ureter was occluded by stone street in case a fever of more than 38 degrees C lasted for 4-5 days after the first treatment with ESWL, percutaneous nephrostomy (PNS) was performed. In ESWL treatment alone a large number of shock waves were required, but double pigtail stent and PNS were used in combination individually, and larger stones were treated by the same waves. When combination therapy was used, hospital stay was short and the rate of remaining stones was low. Our therapeutic conclusions are discussed.
