Since the early days of medicine one concern of doctors has been
the removal of kidney stones and prevention of recurrence. Owing to
the hesitancy of progress in the prevention of initial stone
formation and of relapse, however, removal of stones from the
kidney and ureter were developed to highly refined techniques and
they formerly accounted for a major proportion of the urological
operations performed. In the last few years developments in the
treatment of kidney stones have taken a completely different turn.
In the majority of cases suit able methods are available to bring
about spontaneous passage of the stones, while in a smaller
proportion drug-induced litholysis is pos sible. Stones that cannot
be passed are now treated mainly with extra corporeal shockwave
lithotripsy, percutaneous litholapaxy or uretero renoscopy. These
methods are often used in combination and comple ment each other.
Nonetheless, despite the accumulating experience with the new
methods there will still be situations in which stones can not be
removed except by open surgery. "Our skill as surgeons and the
management of the brilliantly designed equipment would amount to
nothing more than highly skilled mechanical work if they did not go
hand in hand with enhanced insight into the cause of lithiasis and
thus into ways of preventing it - or at least of preventing the
relapse that is the lot of most patients."
