MANAGEMENT OF DISTAL URETERAL STONES IN CHILDREN-SIMILARITIES TO AUA GUIDELINES IN ADULTS

Eighty seven percent (14/16) patients were successfully treated and all of them were stone free at the end of the procedure. The inability to pass a ureteroscope and a ureteral perforation account for the 2 attempts at ureteroscopic lithotripsy which were not successful. ((*)One of whom presented with urosepsis and underwent emergent percutaneous nephrostomy tube drainage.) The stone composition in this group was predominately calcium oxalate. John G.
