Endoscopic management for ureteric stones achieved a 90.3% success rate in 184 patients. This study suggests optimal treatment strategies for ureteral stones based on size and location.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Nephrolithiasis Management

Background:

  • Ureteric stones pose a significant clinical challenge.
  • Surgical intervention is often required for symptomatic ureteral calculi.
  • Endoscopic techniques have become a cornerstone in treating ureteric stones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of primary endoscopic management for ureteric stones.
  • To determine the success rates and complication profile of endoscopic procedures.
  • To propose optimal treatment algorithms for ureteric stones based on clinical parameters.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study of 184 consecutive patients undergoing surgery for ureteric stones.
  • Analysis of primary endoscopic management success rates.

  • Documentation of cases requiring secondary ureterolithotomy and associated complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Primary endoscopic management demonstrated a high success rate of 90.3%.
    • Twelve patients (6.5%) required ureterolithotomy due to failed endoscopic maneuvers.
    • Complications were reported in 5.5% of patients undergoing endoscopic treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic management is a highly effective primary treatment for ureteric stones.
    • Ureterolithotomy serves as a viable option for refractory cases.
    • Treatment strategies should be tailored to stone size and location for optimal outcomes.
