[Results of surgical treatment of patients with coral-shaped kidney stones].

The results of treatment of 140 patients with coral-like renal calculus operated on with blockade of the renal blood flow and performance of pharmacologic protection of a kidney have been analysed. The possibility to remove all the fragments of a coral-like calculus under favourable conditions (on a "dry" organ, performance of nephrotomy with low traumaticity and minimal blood loss) was noted. This allowed early restoration of renal function and 17% decrease in the incidence of the development of recurrent calculus formation.
