[Urinary calculi in a geriatric setting].

The authors report a retrospective series of 174 patients with urolithiasis. They were all age between 65 and 88 years. This group represents one tenth of all patients treated for urinary stones in the Urology department of Sfax over the last decade. Neither the clinical symptoms nor radiological findings observed in this group differed from those other patients hospitalized for urolithiasis; on the other hand associated diseases related to aging appear to be well represented which alters the management, prognosis and outcome in this type of patients.
