    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Ureteric calculi (stones) pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Traditional stone retrieval methods can be invasive and carry risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transurethral ureteroscopy for ureteric stone retrieval.
    • To assess the success rates and complications associated with this technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Transurethral ureteroscopy was performed on 31 patients with ureteric calculi.
    • Stones were located in the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the ureter, ranging from 4 to 10 mm.
    • Outcomes were assessed based on successful retrieval, need for secondary procedures, and complications.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Successful stone retrieval was achieved in 20 out of 31 patients (64.5%) within two attempts.
  • Eleven cases (35.5%) were considered failures, requiring further interventions such as open ureterolithotomy or percutaneous nephroscopy.
  • No significant complications were reported during the study period.

    • Conclusions:

    • Transurethral ureteroscopy is a promising alternative for managing ureteric stones.
    • The procedure shows a reasonable success rate with a favorable safety profile.
    • Further investigation may be warranted to optimize its application and compare it with other modalities.
