All papers have been peer reviewed. A generation ago, the management of patients with urinary stones was forever altered with the introduction of minimally invasive treatment techniques such as shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and percutaneous stone removal. We are in the cusp of, again , revolutionary developments in the management and prevention of nephrolithiasis. This conference featured a very distinguished international faculty whose present research is clearly advancing the field of stone disease. This conference marked the first presentation of data on the interface between a renal stone and its tissue attachment site.
