Abstract
Fifty-three patients were treated in the prone position for stones located in the pre-sacral ureter. Cases were performed at the Orange County Kidney Stone Center by 28 urologists from March 1988-November 1989. A Dornier HM-3 Lithotripter with the original generator, 15.6-cm ellipse, and computerized gantry was used. No repeat treatment was utilized in this series and three failures resulted.
