Abstract
- During the period, Jan. 1961 to Sept. 1962. 77 cases of urinary tract calculi were seen at the C.A.H. This is 1.13% of all ambulatory patients seen at the urology section. Commonest sites were, ureter (63.6%), bladder (18.2%), kidney (9.1%) and urethra (9.1%) in that order. In age distribution, 21-25 years old was the highest (52.1%), and this might reflect the nature of the military hospital. In management, ureterolithotomy was the most commonly used procedure (31.2%), 20.8% of the cases were managed non-operating. Phosphate and oxalates stone were found more commonly in upper urinary tracts. Their break down was as follow; Phosphates 46.8%, Oxalates 23.8%, Oxalates and Phosphates 10.4%, The other properties 19.0%.
