    Ureteroscopy achieved a 75% success rate in treating kidney stones, with 69% stone extraction success. Minor complications like infection and ureteral issues occurred in 9% of patients, with no late sequelae observed.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Endourology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Ureteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure for treating upper urinary tract stones.
    • Assessing the efficacy and complication rates of ureteroscopy is crucial for clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the outcomes and complications of 100 consecutive ureteroscopy procedures.
    • To evaluate the success rates of stone removal and identify potential adverse events.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective analysis of 100 consecutive ureteroscopy cases.
    • Documentation of procedural success, stone extraction rates, and complications.
    • Follow-up assessments including clinical examination and imaging (excretory urography/renography).

    Main Results:

    • Ureteroscopy was successful in 75% of patients; stone extraction was successful in 69%.
    • Initial access or advancement failure occurred in 11% and 14% of cases, respectively.
    • Complications included urinary tract infection (4%), ureteral perforation (4%), and ureteral stenosis (1%); no late sequelae were noted at 1-3 month follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Ureteroscopy is an effective treatment for upper urinary tract stones with acceptable complication rates.
    • Careful technique and patient selection can minimize procedural failures and adverse events.
    • Long-term outcomes appear favorable with no significant late complications observed.
