The aim was to study the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic aspects of obstructive urinary calculi of the urinary tract. This was a prospective and descriptive study of 111 patients admitted to the urology department over a period of 6 years (January 2016 to December 2021). All patients with obstructive (symptomatic) urinary stones over 1.5 cm in diameter were included. Treatment results were analyzed 6 months later.

The age group 21 to 30 years was predominant, i.e. 24.3% of cases. The M/F sex ratio was 2.26. Renal colic was the main reason for consultation, i.e. 72.1%. Staphylococci, E. coli and Enterococci were respectively 22.5%; 21.6% and 12.6%. The operative technique used was open surgery. The postoperative course was simple in 92.8% and complicated in 7.2%.
