Emergency extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (eSWL) as opposed to delayed SWL (dSWL) for the treatment of acute renal colic due to obstructive ureteral stone: a prospective randomized trial.
CONCLUSIONS: eSWL is a safe procedure and delivers high SFR even within 24 hours especially for <10mm stones. It is able to reduce the number of auxiliary procedures and hospitalization.
