Ureteral calculi in octogenarians and nonagenarians: Contemporary in-hospital management-A joint study by the endourological section of the Austrian Association of Urology.

In acute settings, age and extend of mobility were not found to be independent predictors for active stone treatment. In elective settings, after having received urinary diversions, reduced mobility and nonagenarians were less likely to undergo stone removal treatments. Safety and efficacy of URS seems to be similar in octogenarians and nonagenarians.
