[An endoscopic method of ureterolith elimination]
Abstract:
Ureteropyeloscopy was made in 57 patients with ureterolithiasis. It was effective in 55 (96.5%) patients. Perforation of ureteral wall was in 1 (1.7%) patient. It was diagnosed intraoperatively, the patient was stented and discharged with recovery. Postoperative exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis was registered in 1 (1.7%) patient who received a conservative treatment. Thus, clinical efficacy of endoscopic elimination of ureteroliths was 96.5%. Endoscopic treatment is indicated in multiple ureteroliths, stone trace, ureteroliths with ureteral stricture. Endoscopic removal of ureteroliths is a low invasive, effective method.
