P A McLean, T E McDermott, A Walsh

British Journal of Urology

|December 1, 1980

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Transurethral ureterolithotomy effectively removes intramural ureteric stones. While vesicoureteric reflux occurs in nearly 50% of patients, it does not lead to adverse outcomes, making this a recommended treatment.

Background:

Intramural ureteric stones pose a treatment challenge.
Transurethral approaches offer minimally invasive options.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the technique of transurethral ureterolithotomy for intramural ureteric stones.
To evaluate the outcomes and complications of this procedure.

Main Methods:

Transurethral ureterolithotomy was performed on 30 patients.
Follow-up assessments were conducted to monitor for complications.

Main Results:

The technique was successfully applied for intramural ureteric stone removal.
Vesicoureteric reflux was observed in approximately 50% of cases.

Related Experiment Videos

No significant adverse events such as symptomatic reflux, infection, or renal damage were noted.

Conclusions:

Transurethral ureterolithotomy is a safe and effective treatment for intramural ureteric calculi.
Vesicoureteric reflux post-procedure does not appear to cause long-term morbidity.
This method is recommended for stones unsuitable for basket extraction.
