    Remote shock wave ureterolithotripsy effectively treated ureteral stones in 93.2% of patients. Treatment success was higher with shorter stone impaction periods and specific procedural adaptations.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Shock Wave Lithotripsy

    Background:

    • Ureteral stones pose a significant clinical challenge requiring effective treatment modalities.
    • Remote shock wave lithotripsy (RSWL) offers a non-invasive approach to managing ureteral calculi.

    Observation:

    • A 1-year study evaluated 221 patients (ages 6-86) treated with a Lithostar remote lithotriptor for ureteral stones.
    • Treatment involved 1-4 sessions, with varying anesthesia methods and tailored RSWL techniques based on stone impaction, inflammation, and obstructive nephropathy.

    Findings:

    • High efficacy of 93.2% (206/221 patients) was achieved with RSWL.
    • Factors influencing success included shorter stone impaction duration and stone manipulation (e.g., with ureteral catheter).
    • Retrograde/anterograde saline perfusion and diuretic therapy enhanced RSWL effectiveness.

    Implications:

    • RSWL is a highly effective treatment for ureteral stones, with success rates improved by individualized treatment strategies.
    • Minimally invasive adjunctive therapies can further optimize RSWL outcomes.
    • Alternative surgical interventions like ureterolithotomy or stone extraction are reserved for refractory cases.
