Abstract:
Distal ureteral calculi are approached by ureterorenoscopy by most authors. With increasing experience ESWL of distal ureteral calculi gained in importance. The success rate of 96.2% in a large series of 310 consecutive patients treated in this manner, confirmed the results of other authors. Excluding women of child-bearing age and very large calculi (greater than 2 cm) the ESWL is a suitable treatment modality of distal ureteral calculi.
