Urolithiasis is not only one of the most frequently encountered
diseases at uro logical clinics; it is also the disorder whose
treatment has shown the most rapid progress in the past decade. In
that period, medicine has experienced a real revolution,
characterized by minimally invasive treatments, improvement of the
quality of life, and cost-effectiveness in treatment outcomes. In
urology, the revolution started with the development of endoscopic
retrograde treatment of urolithiasis in the upper urinary tract,
which led to development of the percuta neous antegrade maneuver in
the latter half of the 1970s. The most remarkable event occurred in
1982, when clinical use of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
was introduced by the Munich group, represented by Dr. Christian
Chaussy, at the 18th Congress of the International Society of
Urology in San Francisco. With the advent of these new strategies,
open surgery for urolithiasis has all but dis appeared. Today, with
the availability of new technology and equipment, guide lines for
the treatment of urolithiasis have changed in all developed
countries. It is quite timely that the Meeting of International
Consultation on Urolithiasis will be held in Paris in June 2001 to
establish international guidelines for urolithiasis. Looking
through this textbook for urolithiasis, I was greatly impressed to
learn that we have already drawn up some guidelines. The book
includes all the updated advances of urolithiasis presented by the
most prominent and experi enced urologists from all around the
world.
