Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Endourology
  • Nephrology

Context:

  • Ureteral stones pose a significant clinical challenge.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are preferred for stone management.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transurethral ureterolithotripsy for ureteral stone removal.
  • To assess complications associated with the procedure.

Summary:

  • Eighty patients with ureteral stones underwent transurethral ureterolithotripsy using a rigid ureteroscope.
  • Successful stone removal was achieved in 68 patients (85%).
  • Complications included fever (35%), ureteral injury (10%), and stricture (1.6%).

Impact:

  • Transurethral ureterolithotripsy is an effective method for treating ureteral stones.
