Özet

Objective: Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is a safe and effective treatment for renal stones. The success rate of SWL has been shown to be lower in the elderly populations. However, in these previous studies, the SWL devices and techniques were not compatible with the current devices and techniques. In this study, it was aimed to compare the success rates of SWL in different age groups and evaluate the effect of age on SWL outcomes.
