Follow up after stone treatment

EAU consensus:

  • After complete clearance, follow opaque stones for 2 years and lucent stones for 3 years for 80 % safety margin
    • Follow for 5 years for 90 % safety margin
  • Residual fragments < 4 mm or dust:
    • Intervention and progression is about 10 – 30 %
    • Spontaneous passage 21 – 34 %
    • Recommend surveillance for 4 years
  • Residual fragments > 4 mm
    • Intervention rates high 24 – 100 % on surveillance
    • Recommend repeat procedure
  • More extensive follow up for high risk or those with known metabolic abnormalities
