Abstract
Conclusions Most urologists follow the American Urological Association practice guidelines for patients with distal ureteral calculi and staghorn stones. There is a significant difference of opinion regarding the use of stents with ESWL. No clear consensus has been reached concerning the management of adults with ureteropelvic junction obstruction. These data may be useful in designing physician education programs and/or future investigations to help define standard treatment practices for urological diseases.Keywords
