Ureteric stone. When do we need to intervene?

M Hamilton, R Sloman

    Australian Family Physician
    |May 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Most ureteric stones pass naturally with conservative management. Stone size and location are key predictors of spontaneous passage, suggesting a review of traditional surgical indications for ureteric calculi.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Medical Research

    Background:

    • Ureteric stones (calculi) are a common urological condition.
    • Management strategies range from conservative observation to surgical intervention.
    • Classical indications for surgery exist but may not always be optimal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the outcomes of conservative management for ureteric stones.
    • To identify factors predicting spontaneous stone passage.
    • To evaluate the need for reviewing current surgical indications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 210 patients with ureteric stones.
    • Data collection over a 12-year period.
    • Analysis of stone size, site, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Over 75% of ureteric calculi passed without surgical intervention.
    • Stone size and anatomical location were significant prognostic factors.
    • Conservative management proved effective for a majority of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Conservative management is highly effective for ureteric stones.
    • Stone characteristics (size, site) are crucial for predicting outcomes.
    • Classical surgical indications may require re-evaluation based on evidence of spontaneous passage.
