After a 3-month followup significant decreases in residual debris were observed in the retreated group, while changes in the control group were negligible. Considering the low morbidity of outpatient ESWL with a pain-free, second generation lithotriptor, ESWL retreatment of completely fragmented but persistent stone debris appears to be justified to render the kidney stone-free. © 1992 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited bySORENSEN C and CHANDHOKE P (2018) Is Lower Pole Caliceal Anatomy Predictive of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Success for Primary Lower Pole Kidney Stones?Journal of Urology, VOL. 168, NO. 6, (2377-2382), Online publication date: 1-Dec-2002.ALBALA D, ASSIMOS D, CLAYMAN R, DENSTEDT J, GRASSO M, GUTIERREZ-ACEVES J, KAHN R, LEVEILLEE R, LINGEMAN J, MACALUSO J, MUNCH L, NAKADA S, NEWMAN R, PEARLE M, PREMINGER G, TEICHMAN J and WOODS J (2018) LOWER POLE I: A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPSY AND PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROSTOLITHOTOMY FOR LOWER POLE NEPHROLITHIASIS—INITIAL RESULTSJournal of Urology, VOL. 166, NO. 6, (2072-2080), Online publication date: 1-Dec-2001.Rassweiler J (2018) ACOUSTIC AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ARTIFICIAL STONES IN COMPARISON TO NATURAL KIDNEY STONESJournal of Urology, VOL. 164, NO. 2, (273-273), Online publication date: 1-Aug-2000.Zanetti G, Seveso M, Montanari E, Guarneri A, Del Nero A, Nespoli R and Trinchieri A (2018) Renal Stone Fragments Following Shock Wave LithotripsyJournal of Urology, VOL. 158, NO. 2, (352-355), Online publication date: 1-Aug-1997.Streem S, Yost A and Mascha E (2018) Clinical Implications of Clinically Insignificant Stone Fragments After Extracorporeal Shock Wave LithotripsyJournal of Urology, VOL. 155, NO. 4, (1186-1190), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1996.
