A mass occurence of urolithiasis presents a difficult social, medical as well as economic problem. Ca-oxalate urinary stones represent 75 % of all cases of urolithiasis. However, expensive elimination or thripsy of the urinary stones without appropriate follow-up preventive measures should have been a matter of the past. The knowledge of physiopathology of urinary stones origin as well as the knowledge of causal and risk factors enable a correct determination of preventive principles. Corresponding metaphylaxis can yield a low number of lithiasis relapses: 10–15 %. A base of the successful approach is a well- informed and motivated patient.
