ABSTRACT
Among 1400 patients treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy [ESWL] at our hospital, there were 38 children aged from 5 to 16 years. These children underwent 71 sessions of ESWL as the primary management of their urolithiasis using a second generation lithotriptor. At follow-up 3 months after the final session, 74% were stone free, 18% were labelled as having partial clearance and 4% were considered as showing failure of treatment. These figures do not include three patients who failed to complete their follow-up. These results compared favourably with other reported series in terms of clearance of stones and duration of hospitalization
