At the Urological Institute of Padua University, from January 1985 to February 1990, 38 children with nephrolithiasis were treated with PCNL, ESWL or URS, for a total of 40 renal units. Stone-free status was achieved in 13/14 renal units treated with PCNL, in 15/22 renal units treated with ESWL. A retreatment with ESWL was necessary in 4 cases. Our follow up ranges from 3 to 42 months with an average of 30 months.
