Percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy of symptomatic renal calculi in children. 1986

N Papanicolaou, and R C Pfister, and H H Young, and I C Yoder, and J T Herrin

Percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy of upper urinary tract lithiasis is a well-established procedure in adults. We successfully applied this technique to completely remove symptomatic renal calculi in two children with idiopathic hypercalciuria. The procedure was well tolerated and no complications occurred. Both patients were discharged within 4 days of the lithotripsy. This method is an alternative to surgery for the removal of large or impacted calculi from the upper urinary tracts of pediatric patients.
