To establish the criteria for treatment of staghorn stones according to stone surface and distribution in cadaver kidneys.METHODS:
Retrospective study of 344 cases treated from 1985 to 1992 and classified into two groups according to treatment by extracorporeal lithotripsy or by percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL).RESULTS:
Mean age 48.69 years, prevalence of females and positive urinary culture in almost 70%, mainly Proteus. Stone composition was varied, but mainly magnesium ammonium phosphate. Treatment was by extracorporeal lithotripsy in 80.81% and by PNL in 19.9%.CONCLUSIONS:
