Its excellent safety profile, its application on an outpatient basis, without requiring general anesthesia, and the high acceptance of this treatment by patients turned it into a serious competitor of percutaneous renal surgery, introduced in 1976 by Fernström and Johansson<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a> and perfected in the 1980s by Peter Alken.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015">3</a> Both of them, especially PNL, gradually left aside open surgery as the treatment of large renal stones, particularly in developed countries, with a first-class health status.Currently the clinical guidelines of the European Association of Urology<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">4</a> consider ESWL as first-line treatment of 2cm lower renal lithiasis, along with flexible ureteroscopy, except for those located in the lower calyx, where the latter is the preferred option. However, ESWL has certain limitations and disadvantages, such as its lower rate of lithiasic clearance, its high retreatment rate, and the need for auxiliary procedures, when compared to other treatment options. We identified as unfavorable prognostic factors of ESWL the composition and hardness of the stone (calcium oxalate monohydrate, cystine, brushite, >1.000HU), size (>2cm), the particular characteristics of some patients (morbid obesity, skeletal deformities, coagulation disorders) and special adverse anatomic considerations of the lower calyceal group such as: infundibulum-pyelic angle <45°, length (>30mm) and diameter (<5mm) of the infundibulum. This implies that the results of ESWL are unpredictable in terms of effectiveness and it is not free from complications, despite its ‘theoretically’ excellent safety profile.On the other hand, the development and improvement of the technique and material of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and the progressive decrease in the size of the instrumental of percutaneous renal surgery (miniperc and microperc) have made it possible to reduce the invasiveness and, therefore, the morbidity of the treatment of renal lithiasis, while maintaining high efficiency. All this has led to a drastic reduction in the indications of ESWL, despite continuing as ‘official’ first-line option. However, the reality is quite different and the expert groups in endourology have reduced its use, and some even relegate it to auxiliary procedure in selected cases. The satisfaction of the patients treated with RIRS is higher than that of those receiving ESWL, due to the higher rate of lithiasic clearance in only one session of the endourological technique and to its lower retreatment rate.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025">5</a>There is therefore an increasing tendency to reduce the use of ESWL because of the great advantages of the existing endourological procedures, which make it possible to obtain lithiasic clearance rates >90%, with reduced morbidity and without the need for multiple sessions. It is not surprising that both patients and professionals opt for new treatment modalities. Although García-Galisteo et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035">6</a> refer to an increase in clinical practice in recent years of endourological procedures, they still have a high percentage of patients treated with ESWL."
