    Electrohydraulic lithotripsy effectively broke down ureteral stones in 80% of dogs. This study assessed the short- and long-term impacts of the procedure on canine ureters and kidneys.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Veterinary Medicine

    Background:

    • Ureteral calculi (stones) pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Minimally invasive treatments are preferred for stone removal.
    • Electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) is an established method for stone disintegration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of electrohydraulic lithotripsy for ureteral calculi in a canine model.
    • To assess the short- and long-term effects of EHL on the renal and ureteral tissues.

    Main Methods:

    • Electrohydraulic lithotripsy was performed on ureteral calculi in 10 female mongrel dogs.
    • Calculi varied in size and composition.
    • Outcomes and tissue effects were monitored.

    Main Results:

    • Successful disintegration of ureteral calculi was achieved in 8 out of 10 dogs.
    • An overall success rate of 80% was recorded.
    • Short- and long-term effects on the ureter and kidney were documented.

    Conclusions:

    • Electrohydraulic lithotripsy is a viable option for treating ureteral calculi in this canine model.
    • The procedure demonstrated an 80% success rate in stone disintegration.
    • Further investigation into the renal and ureteral effects is warranted.
