[Urinary calculi. Current role of in situ dissolution].

Abstract

The two cases reported here illustrated the advantages of urinary stone dissolution in situ. One patient had bilateral urate calculus with anuria; the other had recurrent staghorn calculus. In both cases a nephrostomy stent was installed percutaneously and the calculi were dissolved by irrigation.
