Abstract
This study demonstrated that stone size, location and number are significant predictors of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy outcome. We have developed nomograms for predicting the stone-free rate of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, which is useful for counseling patients with urolithiasis before surgery.
