Tunc published a large series of 150 patients with stones in anomalous kidneys, which were treated by ESWL (57 duplex, 45 horseshoe, 30 malrotated, 14 pelvic and four crossed ectopic kidneys). The minimum success rate was obtained in patients with lower-calyceal (50%), followed by middle-calyceal (60%) calculi.
