Abstract

High-resolution fiber-optic scopes, powerful Holmium yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho:YAG) lasers, tandem and broad-focused shock wave lithotripters, intricately versatile surgical and endoscopic instruments, and other advances offer minimally invasive and efficacious treatment of urinary tract stones. Even these interventions have a modicum of invasiveness that subjects patients to possible complications. An ideal method for achieving and maintaining stone-free status would rely more on hydration, medicine, and nutrition than on state-of-the-art surgical instrumentation. In this chapter, tailored medical strategies for treatment and prevention of stone disease are discussed.
