summary

The physiology of the ureter and renal pelvis is briefly outlined and in the light of these data the Indications and contraindications were discussed to creno­therapy in cases of calculi in the pyeloureteral system. The qualification of these patients is difficult and re±uires individual evaluation of urograms which includes the size and position of the calculus, and the morphological and functional state of the kidney, pelvis and ureter.
