Abstract: Aim: To assess contemporary in-hospital management of octogenarians and nonagenarians with ureteral calculi. Materials and methods: Review of patients aged ≥80 years hospitalized due to ureteral calculi. Data was extracted from eight Austrian centers of urology. Stone and patient related data were recorded. Treatment patterns in acute and elective settings were assessed. Results: A total of 759 patients hospitalized with ureteral calculi were analyzed. Out of them, 643 were octogenarians (80-89years) and 116 nonagenarians (90–99 years). In an acute setting, simple de-obstruction with urinary diversions outnumbered active stone treatments like URS and SWL (62.6% vs. 26.9% vs. 10.5%). Decision making whether patients underwent active stone treatment was driven by stone location (OR = 0.28, p 0.05). In elective settings, 81.5% of procedures were active stone treatments–mainly URS (76.9%), while DJ stent or nephrostomy replacements were noted in 14.2% and 4.3%. Octogenarians (OR = 14, p
