D M Newman, and T Coury, and J E Lingeman, and J H Mertz, and P G Mosbaugh, and R E Steele, and P M Knapp

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment for calculi of the upper urinary tract was performed in 15 children between 3 and 17 years old. Success was achieved in 93 per cent of the cases (72 per cent were free of stone and 21 per cent had insignificant fragments). No major complications were encountered in the series.
