Czech version

Authors: B. Quddus; S. M. Mahmud
Published in: Urol List 2013; 11(1): 47-49

Overview

Our target is to evaluate the outcome of early versus late lithotripsy, following PCNL in terms of complication and clearance with emphasis on the association (if any) or finding of residual stones in the tract with respect to the interval after the primary procedure.

Key words:
PCNL, early ESWL, late ESWL, complications, stone entrapment, access tract
