“…Sheir et al [9] achieved a success level of 71.4% and Adel R et al [10] had 76.9% success for horseshoe kidney. Kupeli et al [8] reported their success rate for stones smaller than 20 mm in horseshoe kidney as 68%. The success rate in our study was 52% for stones smaller than 20 mm, and this seems relatively low.…”

“…Before the SWL treatment option period described by Chaussy in 1980 [5], treatment of abnormal kidney stones was only a matter of open surgery or active following. After SWL, stones in abnormal kidneys started to be treated mainly with this method [6][7][8][9][10]. With developing technology, treatments such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) [14], minimal PCNL [15], flexible URS [16] and laparoscopic approaches [17] started to be applied to abnormal kidneys.…”

“…SWL is a treatment method also used for horseshoe kidney stones [3]. However, the number of studies on SWL treatment of horseshoe and anomalous kidney stones are few, and their success rate is variable [6][7][8][9][10]. In our study, we examined retrospectively the effectiveness of SWL treatment of horseshoe kidney stones in a single center…”

Aim of this study is to research retrospectively the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) for horseshoe kidney according to the size of stones. SWL treatment applied on 27 kidney stones in 21 patients at a single center were examined retrospectively. Stones were classified according to their size, the number of shock waves applied and average session number. The mean age of the patients was 44 (18-70). Stone sizes were 16mm (7-40) X 10mm (5-30). Average of sessions was 2.55 (1-3) and shock number was 1643 (977-2300). The success rate of SWL treatment at horseshoe kidney stones which were under 10 mm was 90% and for over 10 mm it was 30% (p=0.001). Success rates were detected 63%, 52% and 48%; respectively up to 0-15 mm, 0-20mm and for all stones. The SWL success rate with horseshoe kidney is similar to that in normal kidney. The success rate decreases as stone size increases. SWL is a safe and effective treatment option for horseshoe kidney stones. Especially for stones up to 10 mm, the rate of SWL's success rate is pretty high.

“…However, due to the relative difficulty of accessing the collecting system of a pelvic kidney percutaneously, SWL should be the initial approach to stones in this situation, despite the relatively poor results. Kupeli et al reported a 54% stone-free rate following SWL therapy to stones in pelvic kidneys (27). Patient positioning is a key factor in SWL in pelvic kidneys.…”

Introduction of minimally invasive techniques has revolutionized the surgical management of renal calculi. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy are now both well-established procedures. Each modality has advantages and disadvantages, and the application of each should be based on well-defined factors. These variables include stone factors such as number, size, and composition; factors related to the stone's environment, including the stone's location, spatial anatomy of the renal collecting system, presence of hydronephrosis, and other anatomic variables, such as the presence of calyceal diverticula and renal anomalies; and clinical or patient factors like morbid obesity, the presence of a solitary kidney, and renal insufficiency. The morbidity of each procedure in relation to its efficacy should be taken in to account. This article will review current knowledge and suggest an algorithm for the rational management of renal calculi with shock wave lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
