    A modified Johnson stone basket effectively retrieves impacted ureteral calculi. This improved instrument offers a higher success rate for stone extraction compared to standard baskets.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Ureteral calculi (kidney stones) can cause significant pain and obstruction.
    • Current retrieval methods for impacted ureteral calculi have variable success rates.
    • The Johnson stone basket is a known instrument for stone retrieval.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a modified Johnson stone basket for ureteral calculi retrieval.
    • To compare the efficacy of the modified basket against standard retractable baskets.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified Johnson stone basket designed for passage over angiographic guide wires was utilized.
    • Eleven patients with impacted ureteral calculi underwent manipulation.
    • Procedures were performed in an antegrade or retrograde fashion.

    Main Results:

    • The modified Johnson stone basket achieved a success rate of 80% (4 out of 5 patients).
    • Standard retractable baskets had a success rate of 50% (3 out of 6 patients).
    • The modified basket facilitated easier passage and extraction.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified Johnson stone basket is a valuable and effective instrument for percutaneous manipulation of ureteral calculi.
    • This modified device improves the success rate of impacted ureteral stone extraction.
    • It offers an advantage over traditional stone retrieval baskets.
