Ureteric stone displacement using a new technique.

B P Twomey, R A Wilkins

    Radiology
    |March 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Transcutaneous ureteric stone displacement using a balloon catheter successfully moved stones into the bladder, avoiding major surgery. This technique offers a potential alternative to traditional Dormia basket extraction for ureteric calculi.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Transcutaneous displacement of ureteric stones is an underutilized technique.
    • Conventional methods for ureteric stone removal carry risks and potential complications.

    Observation:

    • A novel technique involving active displacement of ureteric stones into the bladder was performed.
    • A balloon catheter was utilized to facilitate the stone displacement.

    Findings:

    • Four ureteric stones were successfully displaced into the bladder in the cases studied.
    • This minimally invasive approach effectively avoided the need for major ureteric surgery.

    Implications:

    • This technique presents a promising alternative to Dormia basket extraction for ureteric calculi.
