Antegrade ureteroscopy offers a safe method for exploring the ureter and removing kidney stones. This technique successfully made all treated patients stone-free, eliminating the need for open surgery.

Area of Science:

Urology
Endourology
Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

Ureteral calculi (kidney stones) in the proximal ureter can be challenging to treat.
Traditional methods may involve open surgery or less effective endoscopic approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of antegrade ureteroscopy for proximal ureteral calculi.
To assess the stone-free rate and the impact on surgical management.

Main Methods:

Utilized an 11-French ureteroscope for percutaneous transrenal access.
Performed endoscopic exploration of the ureter above the iliac vessels.
Applied the technique for the removal of obstructing proximal ureteral calculi.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

All 22 patients treated with antegrade ureteroscopy were stone-free post-procedure.
The technique provided safe and easy endoscopic exploration.
No open surgeries were required for ureteral calculi management after its introduction.

Conclusions:

Antegrade ureteroscopy is a reliable and effective treatment for proximal ureteral calculi.
This minimally invasive approach achieves high stone-free rates.
The technique obviates the need for open surgery in managing ureteral stones.
