Abstract: Noinvasively clearing urinary calculi, treating ureteropelvic junction obstruction, excising intrarenal malignancies, and harvesting live donor kidneys are among the challenges urologists are striving to meet with endoscopic innovations. At the 16th World Congress on Endourology & Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL), several researchers offered new perspectives on the causes and noninvasive treatment of urinary stones; reaffirmed antegrade and explored retrograde techniques for clearing ureteropelvic junction; and evaluated percutaneous versus open surgical procedures to remove intrarenal malignancies.
