    A novel transurethral ultrasonic ureterolithotripsy technique using a solid-wire probe offers high success rates for ureteral stones. This method improves ultrasonic lithotripsy, effectively treating stones resistant to other methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Transurethral ultrasonic ureterolithotripsy is a common procedure for ureteral stones.
    • Existing techniques may have limitations in stone disintegration and applicability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a new solid-wire probe technique for transurethral ultrasonic ureterolithotripsy.
    • To assess the efficacy and applicability of this novel method.

    Main Methods:

    • A multicenter study was conducted.
    • A new solid-wire probe was utilized for transurethral ultrasonic ureterolithotripsy.
    • A small ureteroscope was employed, eliminating the need for a basket.

    Main Results:

    • The technique achieved a 96.6% success rate in 118 cases.

  • The solid-wire probe's transverse vibrations enhanced stone disintegration.
  • The method proved effective for upper ureteral stones unsuitable for extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy.
  • It was also successful for lower ureteral stones, including steinstrasse.
  • Conclusions:

    • This novel solid-wire probe technique represents a significant advancement in ultrasonic lithotripsy.
    • It offers a highly effective treatment option for various ureteral stones, particularly those resistant to other modalities.
