The causes of pediatric urolithiasis are urinary tract infection as a result of urinary stasis, metabolic diseases and idiopathic origin. Geographically the incidence is higher in Asia than in any other parts of the world. Most recently, PNL was started to be applied not only for adult cases but also for pediatric urolithiasis. Our group was successful in treating two pediatric urolithiasis patients of 4 and 6 years of age by endourologic technique. In 4 year old male patient, renal stone and lower ureter stone were combined andsevere hydronephrosis were present. PNL and URS were done simultaneously for this case. In 5 year old male patient, renal pelvis stone was treated by PNL. The compositions of the stones were calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate, respectively. The postoperative hospitalization was 5 days in both cases and they were discharged without any problem. In both cases, follow up IVP`s were done. We are reporting these two cases to two the successful treatment with adult endoscopes.
