2. Background
•Nephrolithiasis has become increasingly prevalent in children, raising from 6% to 10%
annually in the past 25 years
•Up to 17% of pediatric calculi are classically managed by open surgery
Van Dervoort et al; J Urol 2007
Standard treatment procedures for pediatric population are similar to adult population

3. Background
Laparoscopic management of urolithiasis is well documented in the adult literature,
but lacks adequate evidence in pediatric population

8. Conclusions
Laparoscopic and retroperitoneoscopic approach is safe and feasible in children,
even in the presence of urological abnormalities such as UPJ obstruction, with
success rates equivalent to other more invasive procedures classically used to treat
stones in pediatric population.
