Urology Resident Manual

Overview

• Renal stone disease is a common illness, affecting one in ten individuals at some time in their life.
• Although the pain can be excruciating, 85 % of the stones will actually pass spontaneously. The management of the rest of the patients can be completed using relatively new endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques, resulting in open surgery being reserved for exceptional cases.
• This module will review the current status of medical and surgical treatment of urolithiasis and its prevention.
