Abstract

Extracorporeal and intracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy are effective in at least 30% of cases, particularly when combined with adjuvant techniques. Factors that appear to affect outcome adversely are stone size, partial fragmentation with reduced clearance, duct stenosis, and poor gland function.
