Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Context:

  • Evaluation of 66 ureteroscopies (URS) performed over 18 months.
  • 55 cases for therapeutic ureteral lithiasis, 11 for diagnostic purposes.

Purpose:

  • To assess the efficacy and safety of ureteroscopy for treating ureteral stones and for diagnostic evaluations.
  • To determine complication rates and the need for alternative surgical interventions.

Summary:

  • Therapeutic URS for ureteral lithiasis achieved 68% first-attempt resolution; 9% required ureterolithotomy, and 23% needed supplementary external lithotripsy.
  • Diagnostic URS showed a 72% effectiveness rate.
  • Complications occurred in 9% of cases (6 ureteral perforations), managed conservatively with double J catheters; no open surgery was required.
