Abstract

The secondary factors promoting formation of concrements are discussed. They result mainly from the incurable changes produced by the primary calculus as mechanical irritation of tissue, urinary retention and infection. According to data reported in literature, and based on the authors' examinations, it appears that the frequency of recurrent lithogenesis does not depend on the technique of operation used, but on the not eliminated infection of the urinary system. The lack of causalgenetic measures of treatment for patients suffering from lithiasis represents the cause for the quota of recurrent lithogenesis in 33.6% of the authors' cases. This fact warrants an intensive metaphylaxis of the patients suffering from lithiasis in order to improve the not yet satisfactory immediate and late results.
