2022 Recommendations of the AFU Lithiasis Committee: Management of symptomatic urinary stones

Prog Urol. 2023 Nov;33(14):791-811. doi: 10.1016/j.purol.2023.08.018.ABSTRACTThe acute situation, caused by an obstructive stone, is defined by a renal colic that may be uncomplicated, complicated, or at risk in specific conditions. Its management may be medical or require interventional treatment by extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, endoscopic removal, or ureteroscopy. METHODOLOGY: These recommendations were developed using two methods, the Clinical Practice Recommendations (CPR) and the ADAPTE method, in function of whether the question was considered in the European Association of Urology (EAU) recommendations (https://uroweb.org/guidelines/urolithiasis) [EAU Guidelines on urolithiasis. 2022] and whether they could be adapted to the French context.PMID:37918980 | DOI:10.1016/j.purol.2023.08.018
