Abstract

The management of urinary stones has revolutionized in the past 30 years. It is principally attributed to advances in technology and medical therapy. Prior to the invention of very small telescopic instruments called ureteroscopes, many patients had their stones removed by open surgery. Imagine having a 10-in. incision to remove a ¹/₄-in. stone! In this chapter, we will discuss the advances in stone management while paying special attention to the benefits and disadvantages of common technologies.
