This chapter reviews the findings of the initial case series of patients with renal stones treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) with 12 months of follow-up. In the majority of patients, the renal stones were broken up into fragments that could pass spontaneously, and only a few patients required surgical interventions. Renal function did not appear adversely impacted by the procedure.
