    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Endoscopic laser ureterolithotripsy (ELUL) effectively fragmented ureteral stones in most patients. This minimally invasive procedure showed promise with no laser-related complications, suggesting its suitability for urologic clinics.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Laser Medicine
    • Endourology

    Background:

    • Ureteral stones pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Traditional stone removal methods can be invasive.
    • Advancements in laser technology offer new treatment possibilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic laser ureterolithotripsy (ELUL) for ureteral stone fragmentation.
    • To assess the feasibility of ELUL in a clinical setting.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 67 patients with ureteral stones were treated between 1989-1992.
    • Helium-Neon (He-Ne) color pulsed laser irradiation (504 nm, 2 ± 1 μs pulse duration, 70-120 mJ energy) was utilized.
    • Ureteroscopy was the primary method for laser fiber delivery (89.6% of cases).

    Main Results:

    • Complete fragmentation of ureteral stones was achieved in 89.6% of patients.
    • No laser-related complications were reported during the study period.
    • The procedure demonstrated a high success rate in stone clearance.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic laser ureterolithotripsy (ELUL) is a promising and safe method for treating ureteral stones.
    • The technique is well-suited for implementation in well-equipped urologic centers.
    • ELUL offers a minimally invasive approach with high efficacy for ureteral stone management.
