Prediction of stone-free rates following extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in a contemporary cohort of patients with stone densities exceeding 1000 HU.

Conclusion: Stone size was the only significant success predictor in our cohort, with 76% SF rate for stones < 1 cm in 4 weeks follow-up, supporting that renal stones > 1000 HU may be suitable to SWL. PMID: 32597283 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
