Despite the continuous update of guidelines for the management of kidney stones, the ability to predict a successful response to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) remains a topic of research. This is due to the need to refine the decision making in the context of technological advancements and current pandemics. This study aimed to determine the predictors of stone-free rate (SFR) after single-session SWL in adult patients with a single kidney stone 10 to 20 mm in diameter.
