TI  - [Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy in the treatment of calculi in horseshoe 
      kidneys. Our experience].
PG  - 480-5
AB  - Thirty-one (31 renal units (RU) were treated with extracorporeal shock wave 
      lithotrity (ESWL) in 27 patients with lithiasis in horseshoe kidneys (HK). 
      Treatment was done in an out-patients environment and in two thirds of cases the 
      patient was placed in prone-decubitus. An average of 2.42 sessions per patient 
      (range 1-8) were performed freeing 15 RU, 10 with removable residues, and failure 
      in 6:3 with non-removable residues in all asymptomatic cases, 2 where 
      fragmentation was insufficient and 1 renal annulment post-ESWL. Overall, results 
      were "good" in 80.6% cases, with a significant relationship between size of 
      lithiasis and therapeutical results. Thus, for < or = 2 cm calculi the result was 
      good in 100% cases but a greater number of cleaning were required in those < 1 cm 
      (62.5 vs 46.15%). On the contrary, "therapeutic failures" were limited to just > 
      2 cm calculi. It can therefore be concluded that most patients with lithiasis in 
      HK, specifically when calculi are < 2 cm, can be treated primarily and in 
      monotherapy with ESWL.
