We reviewed 1055 patients with symptomatic urinary calculi treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) monotherapy to determine the long-term stone regrowth and recurrence rates as correlated with the pre-treatment stone burden, site and multiplicity. Long-term follow-up (mean 75.8 months) was available in 94 patients, representing 106 renal units. The recurrence of stone was defined as reappearance of stone on follow-up plain abdominal radiographs. The regrowth of stone was defined as stone regrowing larger than one-third of the original residual size. A stone-free rate of 53% was achieved. The overall stone regrowth and recurrence rates were 26 and 15% respectively. It was concluded that the stone recurrence rate after ESWL was not influenced significantly by the stone size or the multiplicity, but that the regrowth rate was. Stone recurrence and regrowth rates after ESWL were both influenced by the stone location. |
