No patient had abdominal tenderness, the portion of CVA tenderness was high (62.5%). The rate of recurrence was 17.5% (7 cases). Complications of urolithiasis were present in 23 cases (57.5%); among them, the rate of complications was high when a patient had a stone at mid-ureter (p=0.024) and low when the stone was at the renal pelvis (p=0.001).CONCLUSION:
