These results provide a clear indication for the pre-SWL insertion of a ureteral stent in patients with stones >20 mm in diameter. In the event of Steinstrasse, SWL of the collection should be tried before more invasive endourologic procedures are considered.

Lidocaine jelly instillation proximal to ureteral calculi during lithotripsy is an effective method of preventing retrograde stone displacement as well as significantly improving the stone-free rate.
