Abstract
The retention of passable stone debris is the primary shortcoming of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Residual stone debris is located almost universally in gravity-dependent caudal calices. Our findings suggest that multiple sessions of controlled inversion therapy could have a beneficial role in the postoperative management of this select group of patients.Keywords
