Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Ureteric stones pose a significant clinical challenge.
  • Traditional treatments for ureteric stones can be invasive and may require multiple interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic ureterolithotomy.
  • To assess its utility as a primary treatment for large ureteric stones.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 14 patients who underwent laparoscopic ureterolithotomy.
  • Laparoscopy was used as a primary procedure in five patients and as a salvage procedure in nine patients.
  • Transperitoneal approach was utilized for all laparoscopic ureterolithotomies.

Main Results:

  • All 14 patients were successfully treated with laparoscopic ureterolithotomy, achieving stone-free status after a single procedure.

  • The mean operative time was 105 minutes.
  • Three patients with associated ureteric strictures underwent successful incision and subsequent management.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy is a safe and effective surgical option for managing ureteric stones.
    • It is recommended as a primary treatment for large stones located in the mid and upper ureter.
