[Modern aspects of classification of the complications of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy].

Postoperative complications of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) develops due to inadequate assessment of the clinical course of urolithiasis, incorrectly defined indications for treatment, lack of adequate preoperative preparation and ESWL technology. Based on the analysis of the results of treatment of 4500 patients with urolithiasis in the Clinic of Urology of the First MSMU n.a. I.M. Sechenov, taking into account the Clavien-Dindo classification of postoperative complications, we proposed a classification of complications of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, which allows to estimate the degree of complications and determine the sequence of the provision of special medical care.
