Abstract

Shock-wave lithotripsy is commonly employed for the treatment of nephrolithiasis in the pediatric patient population. This report describes such treatment of a patient with electronic nerve stimulators that were located in close proximity to bilateral renal pelvic stones. Precautions and considerations of shock-wave lithotripsy in this context are discussed.
