After analyzing 39 cases, the authors go on to describe the virtues of surgical treatment of non-uric lithiasis after correct evaluation (lateral urography, CT scanning, retrograde ureteropyelography). The operative techniques draw considerable benefits from intraoperative radiography and, when necessary, the clamping of the renal pedicle under pharmacological protection. Surgical management offers the only possible means of preventing aggravation of the renal failure.
