Percutaneous removal of renal and ureteral stones was attempted in 19 cases through an operatively established nephrostomy tract and in 181 cases after primary percutaneous puncture. In the latter group failure of the technique or residual stones required surgical intervention in 15 cases. The residual stone rate was 9/19 and 13/168.
