Pull-through uretero-lithotomy

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

• Ureteral stones can cause significant pain and complications.
• Current stone removal methods may have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe a new pull-through uretero-lithotomy technique.
• To evaluate its efficacy in removing lower ureteral stones.

Main Methods:

• A pull-through uretero-lithotomy procedure was developed.
• The technique involves accessing and removing stones via a specific ureteroscopic approach.

Main Results:

• The described method successfully removed stones from the lower ureter.
• The pull-through technique proved effective for ureteral stone extraction.

Conclusions:

• Pull-through uretero-lithotomy is a viable option for lower ureteral stone removal.
• This technique offers a potentially less invasive alternative for stone management.
